Research Assistant(s) for Primate Video Data Collection
Dr. Jones is looking for 1-2 reliable, collaborative, and organized students to assist with a project examining gorilla tool use. Students will learn to identify individual gorillas housed (or previously housed) at Zoo Atlanta, and use behavioral coding software (Noldus Observer) and will collect data from video footage of gorillas using tools for a few hours a week. In addition, students will attend regular meetings with Dr. Jones, and may be asked to read related articles, and complete related tasks/assignments.
Family Sociology and Family Demography
I am a sociologist and family demographer. I study how families change through events like childbearing, cohabitation, marriage, divorce, and widowhood and the consequences of these changes for adults, children, and communities. I am particularly interested in how family life reflects and reproduces social and economic inequality. I use quantitative methods and data visualizations to answer research questions. Most of my work is focused on the contemporary and historical United States.
