I am seeking a graduate student interested in medical entomology, specifically the ecology of mosquitoes. In my lab we examine the transmission of disease by mosquitoes in an ecological context. Current projects include the landscape ecology of disease vectors, ovipositon (egg laying) behavior of container-dwelling mosquitoes, and larval biology of disease vectors. I have broad interests in applying ecological methods to the study of mosquito-borne disease, and will encourage independent scientific inquiry within a guided framework. Opportunities for collaboration with researchers at the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory exist.
Research assistantships are available starting in Fall 2009. Interested?
