I am currently seeking 1-2 Ph.D. students to join the Crandall Fire Science Lab in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation (http://sfrc.ufl.edu/) at the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. Students will be expected to develop their own ideas and interests with a broad ecological framework, engage in empirical research grounded in fire and/or invasion ecology, and apply their findings to management and restoration of fire- frequented habitats of the Southeastern U.S. I encourage applications from students who have a M.S. degree and experience/interest in plant population and community modeling. See my website for more information on my research interests (http://www.ecologyonfire.com/).
If you are interested, please send me an email at [email protected] and include your CV, summary of research experience, brief statement of research interests, and reasons for pursuing a Ph.D. The deadline for applying to the University of Florida for fall admission is January 1 (http://sfrc.ufl.edu/academics/how-to-apply), so I encourage prospective students to start a conversation with me as soon as possible.
