PhD Position in Amphibian Ecology I am seeking a PhD student to join researchers in the Odum School of Ecology and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) in the fall of 2016.
The selected candidate will pursue studies linking amphibian and wetland ecology with global change biology. The majority of the fieldwork will be conducted on the Savannah River Site (http://www.srs.gov/general/srs- home.html). Candidates excited to couple historical data sets with in situ and laboratory experimental manipulations to address questions linking community and ecosystem ecology are of particular interest. Opportunities exist through Odum and SREL to integrate disease ecology, restoration ecology, and evolutionary ecology into the research program. Applicants must meet the entrance requirements for the Odum School (http://www.ecology.uga.edu/degreeList.php). I am also excited to sponsor students entering the PhD program in Integrative Conservation (ICON) and pursue an interdisciplinary research program. Additional required qualifications: •BA or BS in biology, environmental science or related field •MS in ecology or similar field OR 1+ years experience working as a field assistant or lab technician •Evidence of experience completing successful independent research projects (i.e., peer-reviewed, published work) •Experience successfully and happily conducting fieldwork and/or lab work in teams If you have questions about the position, please contact Dr. Krista Capps (kca...@uga.edu).
