The Lowe lab at the University of Montana in Missoula is looking to recruit PhD students to work on the population biology of stream salamanders at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire.
Ideally, projects will take advantage of the long-term and high-resolution environmental data at Hubbard Brook to explore ecological and evolutionary aspects of stream salamander population biology. However, I believe that PhD students need to build projects around their own interests, so there is a lot of flexibility in the specific research questions, methods, etc. Students will spend field seasons (May – August) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and the academic year in Missoula, Montana. Applicants with experience and/or interest in the ecology and evolution of dispersal, population modeling techniques, and fieldwork in headwater streams are encouraged to apply. For more information on my lab please visit: www.cas.umt.edu/dbs/labs/lowe For information on Hubbard Brook visit: www.hubbardbrook.org Interested students are encouraged to email me ([email protected]). In your email please include a brief explanation of your interest in the position, why you think you would be a good fit for the lab, and a CV (with GPA and GRE scores, if available). Applications for Fall 2018 admission to the Organismal Biology, Ecology, and Evolution (OBEE) graduate program must be submitted by December 1st.
