A Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistantship is available at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to help understand the resiliency of wetland biodiversity (including plants, insects, and herpetofauna) to climate change in the Midwestern United States. The main task is to estimate species' climate sensitivity using occurrence records, climate data layers, trait data, and other available information. These scores can enable conservation status updates, biodiversity resiliency mapping, and novel wetland bioassessments across the region, and may trigger deeper research on select species.
