I (Lin Jiang) am looking for two Ph.D. students to join my lab in the School of Biology, Georgia Institute of Technology in fall 2014. Research in my lab focuses on community ecology, with current work involving biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, community assembly, phylogenetic community ecology, and experimental evolution. Students who are interested in various aspects of community ecology will be considered. The successful applicants will have the opportunity to work in the lab (e.g., laboratory microcosm based research) and/or in the field (e.g., studying plant and insect biodiversity on the Thousand-Island-Lake islands in China). Ph.D. students in our department are supported by fellowships, research assistantships, and teaching assistantships. Please feel free to contact me ([email protected]) if you have any questions. Our graduate application website is at http://www.biology.gatech.edu/graduate-programs/apply/. Application deadline is December 13, 2013.
