and evaluating their impact on organisms, specifically understanding how
fragmentation may alter the survival of flying vertebrate species.
Qualifications: Must be self-reliant, reliable, and have experience coding
in R. Understanding of ecological processes and of science is a plus,
though not required. Bachelor's or Master's computer science or engineering
or bioinformatics students with strong programming skills, and interest in
