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.
