The Salamander Population and Adaptation Research Collaboration Network (SPARCnet) RaMP program is recruiting a cohort of recent college graduates for a paid, full-time, year-long research and professional development mentorship program. Mentees will work in a mentor-mentee team to carry out individual and collaborative research projects investigating patterns and predicting responses of amphibians to global change. Teams will be based in locations across the eastern and midwestern states, within the range of the focal salamander species. The SPARCnet RaMP program will provide professional development and career exploration for mentees to gain placement in career or graduate school opportunities, with the goal of expanding participation in the scientific workforce.
