Ph.D. Opportunities in Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology at Indiana University
The Phillips lab <http://sites.bio.indiana.edu/~phillipslab/index.html>
in the Department of Biology at Indiana University invites applications
to the Ph.D. Program in Ecology Evolution and Behavior (EEB). We
welcome inquiries from motivated students interested in how regional and
global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition, elevated
atmospheric CO2 and changes in species distributions influence carbon
and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Our lab is a collaborative, highly
interactive and dynamic group, with broad interests in
community/ecosystem ecology, and soil biogeochemistry. Incoming Ph.D.
students are encouraged to develop their own research projects on topics
in these areas.
The Ecology Evolution and Behavior (EEB) Program at IU is one of the top
ranked EEB Programs nationally
<http://www.bio.indiana.edu/graduate/eeb/index.shtml>, with a
concentration of core faculty working in the area of
plant-soil-microbial interactions. Ph.D. students in EEB have
opportunities for interdisciplinary training in atmospheric chemistry,
biophysical ecology, climate-ecosystem interactions, land use and land
cover change, microbial ecology and remote sensing. IU has outstanding
resources for conducting research in the ecological and environmental
sciences, including a state of the art biogeochemistry lab
<http://geology.indiana.edu/biogeochemistry/facilities.html>, an
AmeriFlux eddy covariance tower <http://www.indiana.edu/~co2/> and
thousands of acres of nearby forest
<http://www.indiana.edu/~preserve/index.shtml>.
Interested applicants should contact Rich Phillips <[email protected]> as
soon as possible, and include “Ph.D. opportunity” in the subject line.
In your email, please provide a brief statement of your research
interests and a CV. For more information on applying to the EEB Program
(Deadline for International applicants: December 1, 2010; Domestic
applicants: January 5, 2010), please visit
