I am currently looking for 2 graduate students in population/community ecology to start in Sept. 2008. While I am primarily looking for PhD students, exceptional MSc applicants will also be considered.
I am looking for bright, self-motivated, independent students with strong quantitative skills. I will consider applicants who wish to pursue fundamental research on any aspect of population/community/evolutionary ecology. Current work in my lab includes theoretical modeling and laboratory microcosm experiments on food web dynamics, experimental microbial evolution, and field experiments on local adaptation in alpine plants. For more on my lab visit my homepage: <http://homepages.ucalgary.ca/~jefox/Home.htm>. Guaranteed funding of over $20,000 CAD/year for 4 years is available through a combination of teaching and research assistantships. Applicants also are encouraged to apply for available scholarships and fellowships. The University of Calgary Dept. of Biological Sciences has a strong and growing group of ecologists and evolutionary biologists; see <http://www.bio.ucalgary.ca/>. Calgary is a city of one million people located a short drive from the beautiful Canadian Rockies and offering excellent opportunities for both field research and recreation.
