based traits, fitness and population dynamics. This research is part of
a long-term program in collaboration with Prof. Marco Festa-Bianchet at
the Universit? de Sherbrooke.? Since 1971, individually marked bighorn
sheep have been monitored from birth to death at Ram Mountain. The student

September) and assist with capture, marking and measuring of the sheep,
collecting samples for hormone and DNA analyses.
Assets for this position include a M.Sc. degree, publications, a knowledge
of 'basic' French (or a strong willingness to learn it), fieldwork
experience, strong quantitative skills.? Canadian candidates will be
preferred, but strong foreign candidates will be seriously considered.
A tax-free scholarship is available, and financing for travel, fieldwork
and lab expenses has been secured.? The program can begin in either
January, May or September 2012.
