DESCRIPTION
The Parent lab (http://parentlab.weebly.com) is looking for an undergraduate student to assist with field research in the Galapagos Islands. The undergraduate student will spend 10 weeks (May 30th – August 5th, within the NSF-funded REU program in the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Idaho) conducting research under the guidance of two graduate students investigating island biogeography, invertebrate physiology, and biomechanics.
The research will involve traveling to the Galapagos Islands, hiking long distances with field equipment on difficult terrain, backpacking and camping in remote locations, and working long hours in the laboratory to measure physiological response and biomechanical variables in terrestrial invertebrates. The student will also have the opportunity to conduct independent research and present the results in the form of a poster at a research symposium at the end of the program.
DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS:
– Prior research in biology, ecology, wildlife management, or physiology
– Ability to travel internationally (passport)
– Ability to speak Spanish
– Experience backpacking and camping in remote locations
– Patience and attention to details.
