The McIntyre research group at Cornell University is seeking a new M.S. student to study the ecosystem consequences of restoring fish migrations into tributaries of the Great Lakes. The project, funded by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, will focus on nutrient and energy dynamics in Michigan’s Boardman River, where an innovative approach to selective passage of migratory fish is being developed.

he National Park Service’s (NPS) Northern Great Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network (NGPN) is looking for an enthusiastic aquatic ecologist (GS-11) to lead their long-term water monitoring program. The NPS Inventory and Monitoring Division collects long-term data on ecosystem components critical to the management of national parks in a changing environment. The successful candidate will apply their knowledge of aquatic ecology and hydrology (or closely related aquatic field) to the streams, river, and riparian corridors across the northern Great Plains.

I am seeking a masters student* interested in community ecology, landscape ecology, and/or ecosystem ecology to start in my research group in fall 2021. I will be establishing a research program at Simon Fraser University (metro Vancouver, Canada) including (1) fieldwork based in British Columbia, with a focus on watersheds; (2) geostatistical modeling of ecosystem function; (3) data synthesis; and (4) simulation-based modeling of landscapes and animal movement. Much of my research has a spatial perspective.
