Research Assistant for Philip Nyhus
Colby College

Philip Nyhus, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, is looking for two research assistants for 2007-8. The first student will help with literature reviews, referencing, indexing, and other activities related to a book he is co-editing, Tigers of the World, and will help with research related to human-wildlife conflict and endangered species conservation. The second will need to be familiar with, or eager to learn more about, GIS, statistics, and modeling, and will help with research related to endangered species risk assessment and tiger restoration in China. Interested students should send Philip an email (pjnyhus@colby.edu) that identifies the position they are applying for and include a brief description of their interests and background. Sophomores, Juniors, and students interested in considering summer research are particularly encouraged to apply.
