The Echinacea Project is recruiting students and recent graduates to conduct research in the tallgrass prairie. Team Echinacea investigates ecology and evolution in fragmented prairie habitat in western Minnesota, focusing on a model organism, the purple coneflower. This summer, we will investigate the effects of spring fires on summer flowering, pollination, and plant reproduction. Read more about our work with fire in Popular Science or watch a video about this research.
Field assistants will contribute to ongoing research projects and develop an independent research project related to plant ecology, pollination biology, evolution, statistics, or conservation. No field experience is necessary, but enthusiasm is a must!
