These research projects are out of the University of Wisconsin Center for Limnology (CFL) field station at Trout Lake Station (TLS) in Vilas County, WI. Projects will focus on lakes and peoples associated with the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Vilas and Oneida County (e.g., Boulder Junction, WI), Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and others.

Work will include the husbandry, handling, and imaging of larval and juvenile fishes (e.g., Walleye); collecting and interpreting data on fish development and survival; assist in implementing and transcribing/translating one-on-one and group interviews. Student researchers will gain experience with several freshwater fishes, invertebrates, aquatic plants, and limnological sampling methods.

Responsibilities:
• Larval and juvenile fish husbandry
• Launching and towing boats
• Data collection and sample processing
• Handling and measuring fish
• Assisting in scheduling and implementing interviews

Qualifications:
• Willingness to engage with Western scientists and members of the general public on varying topics
• Willingness to engage in interdisciplinary research which will include both field work on lakes and laboratory work.
• Work in all safe weather conditions

Partner Schools Wanted for the 2022-2023 School Year!

Are you a High School that currently serves Indigenous students? Do you have an interest in starting or expanding computer science courses at your school? This might be the program for you!

AISES and the Kapor Center are working together to provide support for a sequence of culturally revitalizing computer science curriculum to partner schools across the county. We work collaboratively with our school sites to create an engaging computer science curriculum, while also working with teachers and when possible, community members to integrate cultural traditions, language, stories, art and more. It is a tribe-specific computer science curriculum that is built with and for the partner communities.

Deadline to apply is Friday, February 18th, 2022.

For more information about this program please visit our website, or contact Marie Casao, AISES Program Officer at [email protected] or Frieda McAlear, Kapor Senior Research Associate at [email protected]
