The student would help with an NSF-funded project focused on motivating neighborhood collective action for habitat conservation in peri-urban landscapes.

Desired qualifications include: a master’s degree in natural resource management, environmental education, or other related field, statistical expertise, and knowledge of social-psychology theory as applied to environmental issues.
