The Venturelli Lab in the Department of Biology at Ball State University is
seeking a highly motivated and creative Ph.D. student to join an
international team of collaborators that is using data from angler
smartphone apps and other digital media to complement conventional fisheries
techniques and gain novel insights into recreational fisheries at multiple
scales and locations. Potential topics of study include patterns of effort
and catch, invasive species, conservation, human dimensions, socioeconomics,
and analytics. Links to recent publications:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/faf.12189

The preferred candidate will have an M.Sc. in fisheries science or a related
field at the time of appointment; be proficient with statistical and spatial
software; have strong quantitative, writing, and presentation skills; and
experience publishing in the peer-reviewed literature. Other assets include
knowledge of human dimensions and experience working with large data sets.

The project begins August 2018 through the Environmental Sciences Doctorate
Program. Funding includes a stipend of $23,250 for the academic year, $6975
in summer salary, and a ~$10,000 fee remission benefit per academic year.
You will be responsible for dedicated fees, which amount to ~$2,000 per
