Description: Are you passionate about integrating wildlife research, big data, and geospatial analyses? The CKWRI Spatial Analytics Laboratory and Technology hub (C-SALT) is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on an exciting project at the intersection of movement ecology, geospatial science, and computational biology.
The successful candidate will lead a research project focused on integrating large-scale animal movement datasets (e.g., GPS, VHF telemetry) with diverse geospatial data layers (e.g., satellite imagery, climate data). The goal is to develop and…

Position Description: We are recruiting one Ph.D. student to conduct research which broadly aims to assess the space use and resource selection of White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica) in South Texas in the non-breeding season to expand on work currently being conducted in the Smith Lab at The Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Texas A&M-Kingsville. We will achieve these goals via a coordinated telemetry and banding program in South Texas that permits assessments of movements and resource selection at multiple-spatial scales. The successful candidate will have…

Position Description: The Tewes Small Wild Cat Program of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Kingsville invites applications from highly motivated individuals to pursue a M.S. degree in our Cat Lab. Students will study ocelots and bobcats to investigate: (1) biotic and abiotic factors that influence movements, and (2) comparative variations in behavioral patterns for sympatric ocelot and bobcats, particularly locations near and distant from roads. Successful applicants will participate in all aspects of field research for…
