Dear all,

please see below for an exciting PhD fellowship opportunity in Uganda 
researching Rothschild's giraffe. GCF in collaboration with Uganda 
Wildlife Services,  the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre and Marasa 
Africa recently set up a long-term research project in Murchison Falls 
National Park. Dartmouth College in the USA is now looking to support a 
PhD student for the project - a truly exciting opportunity for a 
dedicated researcher!

Please contact Doug Bolger at Dartmouth College directly if you are 
interested.

Regards,
Steph

*Ph.D. Fellowship for Research on Rothschild's Giraffe*

Ph.D. fellowship opportunity for an independent and self-motivated 
student to conduct research on the population and conservation biology 
of Rothschild's giraffe in Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda as a 
member of the Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at 
Dartmouth College. Using computer-assisted photographic mark-recapture 
methods the successful applicant will study the population dynamics of 
the giraffe population in the park. There is also an opportunity to work 
with collaborators on characterizing the genetic structure of the 
population and to collaborate with a Ugandan M.S. student. The 
demographic and genetic results will be used to assist Uganda to develop 
a translocation/reintroduction strategy to help insure the survival of 
this critically endangered sub-species.
We are seeking applicants with demonstrated ability to work 
independently in a developing country.  Must be highly self-motivated 
and detail oriented.  Desirable but not required are experience with 
mark-recapture analysis, a proven ability to produce publication quality 
scientific writing, an M.S. degree, previous experience in Africa.
The successful applicant will receive generous fellowship support, 
health insurance, and a yearly discretionary fund for research and 
travel that are guaranteed for 5 years.  Detailed information about the 
program, and access to online applications, are available at:

http://dartmouth.edu/biology/graduate/ecology-evolutionary-biology/information-prospective-applicants

Interested applicants should send the following directly to Professor 
Doug Bolger as soon as possible (dbolger at dartmouth.edu 
<mailto:dbolger at dartmouth.edu>). Please send me a statement of interest, 
c.v., examples of scientific writing, and the names and addresses of 
three references.

Applicants will be considered beginning December 5, 2013.  Promising 
applicants will be contacted shortly thereafter and invited to formally 
apply to the program and hosted for interviews in late January 2014.

Dartmouth is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and encourages applications from women and members of minority groups.
