So, you're interested in studying recreation ecology?
Welcome! I'm glad that you're here!
​
I'm currently advertising for a MS student to examine recreation and wildlife coexistence in Jackson, WY. Read the job announcement and learn how to apply at this link!
​
So, what is it like to work/study in the field of recreation ecology? Here are some things that you can expect as part of a graduate experience with me:
​
-
Fieldwork! You will more than likely spend some time (generally in the summer) collecting data in the field.
-
Collaboration. Our work is highly collaborative. You will likely be working as part of a team with land managers, other researchers, graduate students, undergraduates, and other stakeholders.
-
Data analysis and writing. These are cornerstones of your thesis.
-
Support and guidance. That's my job. I'll make sure you are headed in the right direction and have the tools necessary to succeed.
-
Independence. This is where you shine. You will have opportunities to use tools that I provide, skills you learn, and skills you already possess to ask and answer questions, explore, troubleshoot, learn, and grow.
-
The opportunity to do meaningful work that is relevant to sustainably managing recreation experiences and natural resources. That's why we do what we do.
