Join the lab!
The Hantak lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Dayton (UD) is recruiting a fully-funded MSc student to work on Cricket Frog ecology and conservation beginning in the fall of 2024.
See the description of the research project “Species resilience in the Dayton metropolitan area: investigating how a once widespread amphibian has endured with rapid urbanization” here: https://udayton.edu/artssciences/ctr/hsi/developing-leaders/graduate-fellowship-program.php
The student will join an interdisciplinary cohort of Graduate Fellows in the Hanley Sustainability Institute (HSI) at UD, from the period of August 16, 2024 through May 15, 2025 [or August 15, 2025], with the possibility of renewal for an additional year pending satisfactory progress toward your degree and performance of your fellowship duties.
This fellowship will be structured as a full-time graduate assistantship in HSI. In addition to successfully completing your full-time academic coursework each semester, this position carries an expectation of 20 hours of research assistance under the mentorship of Dr. Hantak to support their research project, “Species resilience in the Dayton metropolitan area: investigating how a once widespread amphibian has endured with rapid urbanization.” Fellows are encouraged to also participate in the institute’s wider programming to support interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teaching, research, and project implementation on campus and in the wider community.
This appointment will come with a 9-month stipend of $18,500, paid on a semi-monthly basis [this prorates to $24,665 for a 12-month appointment]. Because HSI intends to cover 30 credit hours of tuition over the course of a typical graduate fellow's two-year degree plan, and because course offerings sometimes require students to take more than 15 credit hours in a given academic year, HSI will cover up to 18 credit hours of tuition during your first academic year; however, if your fellowship is renewed for a second year, your tuition support will cover a number of credit hours equal to 30 credit hours minus the number of credit hours taken in your first academic year. Additionally, the institute will provide $2,000 in reimbursement for expenses incurred by fellows traveling to conferences to present their research. The University of Dayton is committed to providing quality health care coverage for graduate assistants, which you can learn about at https://udayton.edu/hr/benefits/ga_insurance.php.
All qualified applicants should first get in contact with me. Please email me at mhantak1@udayton.edu with your interest in the lab. In this email, please provide descriptions of your previous research experience, your future interests, your motivation for joining a graduate program, and your CV.
The Hantak lab is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive working environment for all members.
