The DeWalt and Ickes labs in the Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University are recruiting doctoral students to study tropical plant ecology on the island of Dominica in the Lesser Antilles. Research in our labs includes invasion biology, community ecology, population ecology, restoration ecology, and plant-animal interactions. Annual stipends of $17,000-$30,000, depending on student qualifications, are guaranteed for 5 years through a combination of teaching and research assistantships. Stipends on the higher end are available for students beginning in January or June 2008.
