Ph.D. GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP is available beginning August 2009 within the Ecology Department, Montana State University (MSU) to work on nesting ecology of ducks in North and South Dakota. The research will investigate the role of winter wheat to nesting success at multiple spatial scales.
