Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 01/16/2026

LOCATION: USA

The lab of Dr. Henry Streby in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Toledo invites applications for a PhD graduate student position starting Summer 2026. The Streby Lab studies population ecology, animal movement ecology, and evolutionary biology with the goals of producing actionable science for biodiversity conservation and management and improving our knowledge of the evolution of animal behaviors.

ELIGIBILITY:

Qualifications: Applicants should have a Bachelor’s degree, and preferably a Master’s degree, in Ecology or related field. They must have great interest in animal behavior and enthusiasm for the intensive processes of fieldwork, data processing, analysis, and writing and communicating about science to diverse audiences. Determination, curiosity, and a healthy level of skepticism are desired. Experience with analysis of avian nocturnal migration using the NEXRAD weather radar systems is desired. Experience identifying (sight and sound), capturing, handling, and banding birds of eastern North America is also desired. The successful candidate will have most, if not all, of these attributes. Enthusiasm for birding is not a necessary qualification and can be a liability for those who find it difficult to stay on task in areas of high bird activity. 

Experience Required: at least 1 year

Applicants should send a cover letter and CV to Henry Streby at the provided email address.

BENEFIT:

Salary: starting at $27,000 per year
