I am recruiting MS and PhD students to start in January or August 2018. Research in my lab addresses a wide array of questions including population, and community ecology, eco-evolutionary dynamics, adaptation to environmental change and the development of quantitative tools. In my research, I typically take a mechanistic approach aimed at understanding how variation in individual traits (e.g. size, stage or phenotype) scale up to influence population and community level processes and spatial coupling across ecosystems. However, students in my lab work on a broad variety of questions. Excellent candidates should look me up on the web (info for students<http://mikemccoylab.weebly.com/prospective-students.html>) and contact me for additional information.
