Could you please post this announcement on Ecolog? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am looking for 1-2 highly motivated PhD graduate students interested in restoration ecology, invasive species, plant-fungus-insect interactions, or other aspects of plant ecology to start August 2008 in the Biology Department at the University of Louisville (KY). My research program is broadly focused on biodiversity and the dynamics of terrestrial plant communities. My current work addresses plant-fungus interactions and the restoration of Great Lakes sand dune plant communities. Other related interests include the role of community evenness in ecosystem function, relationships between diversity and compositional stability in grasslands, prairie and savanna restoration, and the management and population dynamics of exotic invasive species. I am working on several projects which students could collaborate on, though I encourage students to develop their own research directions as well.
