M.S., Zoology, University of Idaho, 1986
B.S., Zoology, Miami University, 1984
Dr. Maher joined the Biology Department at USM in 1997 after holding a faculty appointment for 5 years at Montana State University - Billings. She is a behavioral ecologist who studies variation in social behavior in mammals. Since 1998, she has conducted a long term behavioral study of woodchucks in southern Maine.
Dr. Maher regularly teaches the second semester course, which focuses on organismal biology (BIO 107), in the introductory sequence, and she also teaches Vertebrate Zoology (BIO 353) and Animal Behavior (BIO 405/505, 406/506).
Currently, Dr. Maher also serves as Associate Dean in the College of Science, Technology, and Health. When she's not teaching, doing fieldwork, or carrying out administrative duties, she's probably running on the roads or trails around Portland.
