Texas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
The Texas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (est. 1936) is a partnership among Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Tech University, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Wildlife Management Institute.
Current efforts of Texas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit focus on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Specific fields of interest include fisheries and wildlife management, aquatic and wildlife ecology, community ecology, ecophysiology, ecotoxicology, reproductive biology, and fish culture. These research and educational efforts are based on the technical expertise of unit scientists and university cooperators.
As part of our mission, Unit scientists teach graduate level courses, mentor graduate students (Unit students), and conduct workshops for our cooperators. By combining teaching, research and technical assistance to state and federal cooperators while incorporating students into these activities, Unit students have the unique opportunity to pursue a graduate degree while also receiving unparalleled academic-scientific training and applied work experience. Our students can pursue an M.S. or Ph.D. degree through the Natural Resources Management or Biological Sciences departments at Texas Tech University. Please contact the Unit scientist that you are interested in working with and visit the links below to find out more about being a graduate student at Texas Tech University.
Unit scientists also
routinely provide technical assistance ranging from data analysis support, GIS mapping, workshops, consultations and peer-review and advisory service to primary cooperators as well as other state and federal agencies.
