Ph.D. opportunities in terrestrial ecosystem ecology at Indiana University
The Phillips lab invites applications to our Evolution, Ecology and
Behavior (EEB) Ph.D. Program. We welcome inquiries from motivated
students interested in how regional and global environmental changes
influence carbon and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Our lab is a
collaborative, highly interactive and dynamic group, with broad
interests in ecosystem ecology and soil biogeochemistry. Incoming Ph.D.
students are encouraged to develop their own research projects in these
areas. For more information on research projects in the lab, visit
<http://sites.bio.indiana.edu/~phillipslab/index.html>
The EEB Program at IU is one of the top-ranked programs nationally
<http://www.bio.indiana.edu/graduate/eeb/index.shtml>, with a
concentration of 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 Dr. Phillips before December 1, and
include “Ph.D. opportunity” in the subject line. In your email, please
provide a brief statement of your current and/or future research
interests (please be as specific as you can) and a curriculum vitae.
