 Profile

Dr. Jachowski is an Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Clemson University in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation. His passion for learning about and conserving wildlife has led him from the tropical rain forests of the Philippines (where he served as a visiting scientist and U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer), to the savannas of South Africa (where he remains an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of KwaZulu-Natal), and to the Great Plains of North America (where he spent 10 years as a federal wildlife biologist). In 2014 he moved to Clemson University where in addition to maintaining research collaborations in the Great Plains and Africa, a recent emphasis of his research is to investigate the ecology of wildlife in the Southeastern US.

Dr. Jachowski was recipient of the Researcher of the Year Award (2019) and Advisor and Mentor of the Year Award (2021) for the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences.
