Undergraduate Students: We welcome undergraduate students to join the lab. This is a great opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience working on applied research projects. We regularly hire students as research technicians, and there are ample opportunities for undergraduates to engage in all aspects of the research process. If interested in exploring opportunities, please reach out.

Graduate Students (MS and Ph.D. in Rangeland Ecology and Management): Oregon State University is an excellent environment for graduate students, particularly for those interested in ecology and natural resource management.  Our lab works on diverse topics, but all relate to and inform our understanding of ecology and natural resource management.  Many projects are collaborative in nature and involve partnering with other researchers, communities, agencies, and organizations. This approach provides ample opportunities for students to not only learn skills in study design, data analysis, and manuscript writing but also gain an understanding of real-world natural resource management issues. As an advisor, I try to be readily accessible to students and foster a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. Potential graduate students are encouraged to send an email detailing their research interests and background well in advance of the deadline for applications. 

Postdoctoral Researchers: While the lab does not currently have funding for postdoctoral researchers, I am willing to work with dedicated candidates to develop fellowship and grant proposals to fund their work in the lab. Potential postdoctoral researchers are encouraged to contact Bryan Endress a year before finishing their PhD requirements to allow time to develop proposals.
