Greetings, As of May 24, I have support for a graduate student interested in how biotic and/or abiotic factors impact disease transmission. There is a good bit of flexibility within this broad description to include climate change, vector or host population dynamics, habitat structure and use, etc. Note that this is largely a modeling project but there is opportunity to also do some empirical research. Hence, some modeling experience or programming in r or Matlab (or a lower level language) is preferred but a keen interest counts as well! I'm looking for someone to start this Fall or Spring. If interested, I encourage you to check out www.tiehh.ttu.edu for information on our program and to email me for more information about the research and our lab.
thanks, Chris Salice chris.salice AT ttu.edu
