FELLOWSHIP OVERVIEW:
The Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station is pleased to offer a summer research fellowship of $10,000 plus residency (beginning in May and ending in September) and station fees for Ph.D. level researchers in any science discipline that can benefit from research station experience. The Fellow will conduct on-site independent research, act as the primary mentor for undergraduate students participating in the Preserve's Odum Internship in Field Ecology (mid-June through mid-August), and lead the Preserve’s Thursday Lecture Series. Fellows are also encouraged to participate in one of the Preserve’s many public outreach programs to share their research with the greater community. Preference will be given to individuals and projects with the potential to develop into long-term research activities at the Preserve. Ph.D. level researchers at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply. Additional information about the position can be found online: www.huyckpreserve.org/srf or click the "Read more" link for details to apply! As a biological field station, Huyck Preserve is home to dozens of researchers each year while the conduct field research in a variety of topics. We always encourage scientists to update us on their work so we can share it - and you may have seen a few articles across the internet lately that include research done here.
If you missed his Thursday night lecture, Alexander Buyantuev will be conducting some drone surveys of the Preserve as part of ongoing research studying the effects of climate change on phenology.
