Ph.D. Opportunities in Experimental Community Ecology
Graduate Research Assistantships (Ph.D. level) are available in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas. We are seeking highly motivated students interested in experimental community ecology. Research opportunities exist within the context of an NSF-funded study testing alternative models of community assembly and using grasslands as the model study system. Students will be encouraged to develop dissertation projects related to the themes of community assembly, species coexistence, disturbance ecology and biological invasions. Successful applicants to our doctoral program are guaranteed five years of financial support for the academic year. The department provides support for travel to attend and present results at national and international professional meetings. Funds to support graduate student research is also available through departmental endowment funds.
