Student Opportunities
The Bowser Lab is seeking students interested in pollinator research in the United States National Parks. In conjunction with the National Park Service (NPS), the Bowser Lab is developing a pollinator protocol to implement across 40+ parks. This project has opportunities for student researchers as well as summer field work positions within the parks.
The lab intends to hire two new graduate students (masters-level) as part of the Ecosystem Sustainability program, or the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology. This position begins May 2022 (i.e., students are expected to participate in the summer field season). This is a paid position (tuition plus a semester stipend). Colorado State University expects students to pay fees during the academic year.
The lab is also seeking (at least) six students interested in summer research opportunities (Pollinator Hotshots). This is a 12-week time commitment that begins late May and ends mid-August. This position is open to undergraduate students or recent graduates.
For both position types, we are seeking students that are positive, willing to be challenged, willing to lead and participate within multidisciplinary/multicultural teams, a strong communicator, and one who is open and inclusive to all backgrounds and ideas. Maintaining flexibility is also key!! This is a HEAVY field-based position. Travel to remote areas and camping are required. NO camping or research experience required, and NO prior equipment is needed. This project will work in urban parks and wild parks– the connection across these special places is our love and passion for science!
If you are interested in the Ecosystem Sustainability Masters program, please see here. If you are interested in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology Masters program, please see here. Dr. Bowser advises students in both programs. For those interested in the Pollinator Hotshot opportunity, please see details on the lab website. Applications will open January 1, 2022.
