ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION OF GRASSLAND BIRDS
The University of Oklahoma's Sutton Avian Research Center has available a 2-year appointment for a postdoctoral researcher. Principal duties will be the analyses and publication of data gathered on long-term studies of prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus sp.) ecology and of the reproductive ecology of tallgrass prairie passerines. The postdoc will also take part in on-going field work, will help establish new studies in these systems, and will be encouraged to pursue additional studies in his/her primary field(s) of interest. The position is located in northeastern Oklahoma at the Sutton Avian Research Center ( http://www.suttoncenter.org/) near Bartlesville, but the researcher will be employed through the Oklahoma Biological Survey ( http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/) at the University of Oklahoma, which provides full health benefits. Applicants with a good publication record, a solid background in applied statistics, and familiarity with GIS will be favored. To apply, please mail or email a current curriculum vitae, a cover letter that explains your qualifications and interest, and the names, affiliations, email addresses, and phone numbers of three references to Dr. Michael A. Patten (mpatten@ou.edu; Sutton Avian Research Center, University of Oklahoma, Box 2007, Bartlesville, Oklahoma 74005). Please feel free to email for more information or to discuss the position before applying. Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.

The internship program enables students to combine what they learn in the classroom with the ‘real life experience’ of working at the Oklahoma Biological Survey. Please see the Internships in Conservation Biology page for more information.

Herbarium volunteers

The Robert Bebb Herbarium is Oklahoma's primary reference collection of plants. People who need to identify plants or who study the history or distribution of species in Oklahoma or the Great Plains make use of the Herbarium. This "library" of plants needs volunteers to help with all aspects of processing specimens. Hours are entirely flexible and visitor parking passes are available. In the spring we do plant forays with botanists, students and interested volunteers to collect specimens for the Herbarium. Please contact Wayne Elisens if you are interested.
