Positions

Postdocs: We do not have any open postdoctoral positions at present, but I am open to discussions with anyone who has or is seeking independent research funding.

Graduate students: I do not anticipate taking new students in fall 2024, but am open to discussions with strong candidates who have clear research ideas, especially if they have (or are seeking) independent research funding (e.g., via NSF’s GRFP programme).

Field technicians: Details of our field research for next summer (2024) remain uncertain, but it is likely we will be hiring technicians for both bird and vegetation work at restoration sites in Connecticut, and for bird surveys across the Northeast. Please check back mid-winter for more information, or watch for ads on the sites listed below.

Undergraduate researchers are needed to help compile information for the Connecticut Bird Atlas, Connecticut Bird History and EntoGEM projects.  We have limited funding to support these positions, but expect to be able to hire at least one student. Independent study credit also is a possibility. Positions involve data entry, compiling information on historical records, and providing editorial support for the creation of web site materials on the ornithological history of the state. For more information send me an email with a resume, a copy of your transcript (unofficial is fine), your experience and knowledge of birds and birding, and a description of why a position on this project interests you.

As additional positions become available they will be posted here and advertised on the following job boards, where you can set up automated alerts:
