The Regan Lab at the University of California Riverside has an
opening for a PhD student with interests in Quantitative Conservation
Ecology, Ecological Modeling and Decision Making. Active areas of
research in the Regan lab include population viability analysis of
plants under habitat fragmentation, altered fire regimes and climate
change, and decision making under uncertainty for conservation. We
are particularly interested in students who wish to work on projects
linking ecological and fire models with formal decision making models
to address population, habitat and community objectives in fire
management and land-use plans. We use computational, mathematical,
and advanced statistical methods in much of our work, so students
with an interest in these kinds of methods are encouraged to apply.
While a background in these quantitative techniques is desirable it
is not absolutely necessary, however an interest in learning and
applying them is essential. While students interested in one of the
general areas listed above are preferred, students are encouraged to
develop their own research projects depending upon their interests.
Graduate students in the Regan lab are funded through a combination
of research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and fellowships.
The Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology Graduate Program at
the University of California Riverside has a diverse faculty and
supports many graduate students in departments across campus. For
further details about the graduate program please consult

Interested students can find more information about the lab at our website:

If you are still interested after checking out the website you should
contact me directly at [email protected]. Please send a CV, GPA,
GRE scores (if available), and a brief description of your general
research interests.
DEADLINE: While full consideration is given to formal applications
submitted by January 5th, 2009, applications submitted after this
date will also be considered for funding.
