Research opportunities for incoming First Year Students
Animal Behavior Research with Dr. Erin Frick and the FAB Lab
About the Project
The study of animal behavior has gained a great deal of attention in recent years, with the goal to better understand how and why animals behave the way they do. Knowledge of an animal’s behavioral repertoire is critical to our ability to monitor populations in the wild, enhance rescue and rehabilitation efforts, and provide care in zoological institutions. Research assistants will work in the Frick Animal Behavior Laboratory on active research projects that focus on animal behavior, communication, social learning, and welfare.
