I am looking for at least two PhD students to start in my lab in
August 2012 at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.
I have recently moved to Old Dominion from Cornell University and am
starting up my lab and graduate student program. I have funding to
cover both tuition and a teaching assistantship for PhD candidates.
Please visit my web site to learn more about my research program.

I tend to wear a number of hats and am interested in having a student
work in one of the following areas:
behavioral ecology, animal behavior, community ecology, conservation
biology, quantitative ecology, or modeling.
Although most of my work has involved birds or mammals, I am happy to
have students work on other taxa. Whether students want to be
involved in my current work with cooperatively breeding acorn
woodpeckers or their own system is fine by me.
If you are interested in working in my lab, please visit the "joining
us" portion of my web site and follow the directions therein.
Candidates should be highly motivated, have an undergraduate GPA>3.5,
a GRE (v+q)>1300, and strong quantitative skills. Please contact me
well before December 1st if you want to be considered for one of the positions.
