*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 across spatial and temporal
scales. Our lab is a collaborative, highly interactive and dynamic
group, with broad interests in plant eco-physiology, ecosystem ecology,
microbial 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, please visit our
website <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
<http://www.bio.indiana.edu/graduate/eeb/index.shtml>>, with a high
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 ecological research, including a state of the art
biogeochemistry lab
<http://geology.indiana.edu/biogeochemistry/facilities.html
<http://geology.indiana.edu/biogeochemistry/facilities.html>>, an
AmeriFlux eddy covariance tower <http://www.indiana.edu/~co2/
<http://www.indiana.edu/%7Eco2/>> and thousands of acres of nearby
forest <http://www.indiana.edu/~preserve/index.shtml
<http://www.indiana.edu/%7Epreserve/index.shtml>>.
Interested applicants should email Dr. Phillips as soon as possible
<http://sites.bio.indiana.edu/~phillipslab/contact.html
<http://sites.bio.indiana.edu/%7Ephillipslab/contact.html>> as the
deadline for domestic and international applications is Dec. 1, 2012. In
your email, include "Ph.D. opportunity" in the subject line, and provide
a brief statement of your current and/or future research interests
(please be as specific as you can) and a curriculum vitae. For
