The Gillooly Lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida has openings and support for 1-2 graduate students beginning in Fall 2015. Research in the lab is diverse, but generally falls under the categories of macroecology, macrophysiology, or comparative physiological ecology. We seek to understand how the structure and function of species are related to the structure and function of populations, communities and ecosystems. Lab members use a variety of approaches, including modeling, experimentation and field studies. Above all else, we seek students that are creative, curious, collaborative, and open to combining theory with data. More information about the lab is available at http://people.biology.ufl.edu/gillooly/.
Prospective students should contact Dr. Gillooly by email (gillooly at ufl.edu) to discuss possibilities as soon as possible. The deadline for application is December 1, and more information regarding application may be found at: http://www.biology.ufl.edu/Graduate/Application.aspx#toapply.
