PHD STUDENT OPENINGS IN QUANTITATIVE, COMPUTATIONAL, AND MACRO- ECOLOGY The White Lab at the University of Florida has openings for one or more PhD students in quantitative, computational, and/or macro- ecology to start fall 2015. The student(s) will be supported as graduate research assistants from a combination of NSF, Moore Foundation, and University of Florida sources depending on their research interests.
The White Lab uses computational, mathematical, and advanced statistical/machine learning methods to understand and make predictions/forecasts for ecological systems using large amounts of data. Background in quantitative and computational techniques is not necessary, only an interest in learning and applying them. Students are encouraged to develop their own research projects related to their interests. The White Lab is currently at Utah State University, but is moving to the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida starting summer 2015. More information about the lab is available at the lab website: http://whitelab.weecology.org and additional information about this position is available at: http://jabberwocky.weecology.org/2014/10/08/white-lab-phd-openings-at-the-university-of-florida/ Interested students should contact Dr. Ethan White ([email protected]) by Nov 15th, 2014 with their CV, GRE scores, and a brief statement of research interests.
