The Aldrich-Wolfe Lab is currently recruiting a graduate student for Spring 2021 interested in studying dispersal of plant-associated fungi by wind and birds in coffee-forest agroecosystems of southern Costa Rica. The ideal student would have experience mistnetting birds, solid communication skills in Spanish, and a passion for learning more about the ecology of plant diseases in the tropics. If interested, submit your curriculum vitae, a brief statement of interest, contact info for two academic references, and unofficial transcripts as a single pdf file to laura.aldrichwolfe at ndsu.edu.
Thanks to Dr. Stefanie Vink and all the amazing undergraduate students who made this paper happen. Kudos!
