Biology Opportunities

Dear students! Are you staying in Northfield this summer? Will you be back on campus early? Do you have a few open weeks between July 1 and Sep 10?

If so, I need you! I am looking for students to conduct zooarchaeological analysis of excavated animal bones from the historic Olin Farm site in the Cowling Arboretum!
I will supervise all work in the Arch Lab in Anderson. You will learn how to identify animal bones, take scientific measurements, input data into spreadsheets, analyze that data, and co-write academic publications.

We seek a student to assist with: analyzing the crayfish life history data; graphically displaying the results; and writing a manuscript for submission to a scientific journal. They will be…

There are still some great spots open this summer!  Sign up to participate on the CRP for a week, working alongside biologists to collect data on nesting females and protect their nests from predators and high tides.  Please click here for more information on 2023 registration!

The invasive species research group in the Moeller Lab studies the biogeography, ecology, and evolution of invasive plants in the Upper Midwest to try and better predict invasion risk, especially in the face of global climate change. In spring/summer 2023, we will be starting a large field experiment to test for local adaptation and pre-adaptation to climate change in the invasive plant, common tansy. We will establish planting sites at four areas across the state and in each site we will manipulate temperature (warming conditions) and precipitation (drought simulation with rain-out shelters). The experimental sites are across MN (outside Moorehead, MN; outside Duluth, MN; Southwest MN, and St. Paul Campus, UMN).

Contact Ryan Briscoe Runquist (rbriscoe@umn.edu) for questions or apply by sending a short cover letter and CV/resume.

Interns will spend 10 weeks at Fermilab working under the direct leadership, guidance, and supervision of Fermilab scientists, engineers, computing professionals, technicians, and staff across all laboratory directorates performing hands-on…
