Join the Campbell lab to study plant evolutionary ecology (start date
May or September 2014)! Applications at both the MSc and PhD level are
welcome.
Research in my lab addresses fundamental questions about population
and/or eco-evolutionary dynamics, with an applied focus, typically via a
combination of field experiments and quantitative reviews. Current and
Recent work in my lab include the evolution and ecology of crop-wild
hybridization, pollen movement through landscapes, the consequences of
climate change for natural and agricultural populations, and plant-plant
competition in urban farms.
For more on my lab and my research, see my homepage:

Ryerson University provides innovative, career-focused education, has
doubled its funding and publication output between 2005 - 2010, and
experienced the largest growth in research of an Ontario-based
University in 2011.
The Dept. of Chemistry & Biology participates in two graduate programs
(Environmental & Applied Science & Management and Molecular Science).
The city of Toronto is Canada's most populous city and contains
wonderful cultural diversity, a National Park, and lots of greenspace,
with all of the opportunities for research and recreation that implies.
For more on my mentoring philosophy, and for links to information on the
Ryerson University's various graduate program (including funding sources
and the application process), go here:

Guaranteed funding is available for 2 years (MSc) or 3 years (PhD)
through a combination of TAships, RAships, and other sources.
Interested students should contact me via email (lesley.g.campbell
@ryerson.ca), and
attach transcripts (unofficial is fine) and contact details for three
references.
