   personal_statement: "Having previously held positions with the American Museum\
     \ of Natural History (New York) and the Australian National Wildlife Collection\
     \ (Canberra), as well as an adjunct position with the US National Museum of\
     \ Natural History (Smithsonian). Terry's research focuses on the systematics,\
     \ diversity, conservation, and management of birds.He uses genetic and genomic\
     \ techniques to study the systematics, diversity, conservation, and management\
     \ of birds. His contributions to avian taxonomy and conservation also include\
     \ chairmanship of the AOS Committee on Classification and Nomenclature (North\
     \ America), which provides a standardized avian taxonomy for use by public agencies\
     \ and private individuals and organizations.Current projects include studies\
     \ of:genomic variation in Bewick\u2019s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii) and Hutton\u2019\
