The Cleland lab at the University of California, San Diego is seeking exceptional PhD students to start in the Fall of 2012. Research in the lab focuses broadly on plant community responses to environmental change in Southern California terrestrial ecosystems, and graduate student funding is available from a mix of teaching and research assistantships. Ideal members of the lab have a clear vision of their research goals, are enthusiastic, mature, good communicators, flexible and have a strong background in ecology. All students will be expected to apply for fellowships and additional sources of research funding, and to contribute to an atmosphere of collaboration within the lab.
