MSc. Position at Carleton University & the University of Ottawa: Measuring Lepidopteran Diversity at Urban Tree Planting Sites Project Overview Urban greening is an important aspect of addressing the global biodiversity crisis. The number of urban tree planting programs has grown, with the goal of supporting biodiversity conservation. However, our understanding of how urban tree plantings impact biodiversity and ecosystem services is not well understood. We are seeking a MSc. student to join a team of scientists at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa to study the outcomes of urban tree planting for Lepidopterans and birds in Ottawa, Ontario. Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) contribute to ecosystem function and are an important food source for birds. Butterflies and moths can reflect environmental health and may be used to evaluate the outcomes of habitat interventions. Working with a team of graduate students and research scientists, the student will measure the diversity of Lepidoptera and bird predation across tree planting sites in the city. The results of this research will contribute to an understanding of how urban tree plantings benefit birds and Lepidoptera. The position will start in September 2026, will be co‑supervised by Dr. Rachel Buxton and Dr. Heather Kharouba, and will receive two years of funding through a Research Assistantship. Essential Skills & Qualifications BSc. degree in Biology, Conservation Science, Data Science, Geography, Applied Statistics, or a related field; Completion of an Honour’s thesis (or equivalent level research project); Strong research, leadership, and communication skills; Enthusiasm and kindness; Experience managing and analyzing biological data; Valid Driver’s License. The candidate must be a Canadian citizen. Desirable Skills & Qualifications Comfortability with the R coding language; Experience with insect identification; Experience conducting biological field research. Application Details Applicants should send the following to Christopher Dennison (ChristopherDennison@cmail.carleton.ca) with Rachel Buxton (Rachel.Buxton@carleton.ca) and Heather Kharouba (Heather.Kharouba@uottawa.ca) CC’ed by January 16th, 2026, with the subject line: MSc. Urban Tree Planting and Lepidoptera: Letter of interest summarizing your experience Curriculum vitae or resume Contact information for 3 references University transcripts (unofficial transcripts are sufficient). #J-18808-Ljbffr
