Tell Me About The Award:

The Simon Fraser University Scholarship offers equal opportunities for interested applicants to grow, develop, and succeed. If selected, you will receive a stipend of $30,000 CAD per year to support your graduate studies in Canada. Drs. Elizabeth Gow and David Green are looking for a PhD student to join their research teams through the Simon Fraser University Scholarship. Both researchers lead a supportive research group that creates an equitable and inclusive environment for all members, providing equal opportunities for growth, development, and success. We strongly encourage applications from members of traditionally under-represented groups. The student will work on expanding existing mark-recapture datasets and motus tracking data for several urban non-breeding sparrow species (e.g., golden-crowned sparrows, dark-eyed juncos, spotted towhees, American robin) that spend the non-breeding season in urban parks and yards.
