I am recruiting graduate students into my lab at Texas Tech University to work on fire ecology and plant community ecology. There is great leeway for individual graduate projects, but the themes of my lab's research are described at www.schwilk.org. One area of current research involves plant responses to drought and temperature stress in the Sky Island mountain ranges of west Texas. Other possible areas of research include the physiology of resprouting plants and plant flammability.
Research and teaching assistantships are available to support students --- early applicants face best consideration for university-wide competitive assistantships and scholarships. For more information, please attach a letter of interest and resume/CV (including contact information for 3 references) to Dr. Dylan Schwilk: [email protected]. Contact information is available at http://www.schwilk.org
