Biology professors Dan Hernández and Mark McKone are accepting applications for research positions in summer 2013. The research will focus on various projects in the Carleton Arboretum on the ecology of prairie restoration, soil carbon and nutrient cycling, and the impacts of mammal herbivory on prairie plant communities.  These projects will involve extensive fieldwork, thus a willingness to work outside in summer conditions is required.  Positions will be for 8-10 weeks beginning in late June/early July and continuing until the end of the summer.  Previous research experience is not required and we welcome applications from students of all backgrounds.
