Ph.D. opportunity in pollination ecology Rebecca Irwins lab at Dartmouth invites applications to the Ph.D. Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). My lab is particularly interested in a graduate student who wants to study the effects of environmental change on plants, pollinators, and their interactions. The student will be able to take part in a long-term bee monitoring program while also developing a dissertation project broadly related to environmental change and pollination. Field work will take place at the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab in Colorado, a field station well-known for research in pollination ecology.
The EEB graduate program at Dartmouth has a core group of enthusiastic faculty, graduate students and post-docs who provide an exciting environment in which to pursue a Ph.D. Generous financial support is provided in the form of Dartmouth Fellowships, health care, and a substantial yearly discretionary fund for research and travel that are guaranteed for 5 years. Applicants with excellent records and who demonstrate financial need are also eligible for a U.S. Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship. Detailed information about the program, and access to online applications, are available at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biology/graduate/eeb/. I encourage students interested in a position in my lab to contact me directly before applying. In your email, include a brief statement of your current and/or future research interests related to pollination ecology and a CV. Email to: [email protected] Applications to the Dartmouth EEB graduate program will be considered beginning on December 1, 2012. Promising applicants will be invited and hosted for interviews in January. Dartmouth is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and encourages applications from women and members of minority groups. _______________________________ Rebecca E.
