Ph.D. Position: Landscaping plant choice and long-term invasion patterns
Overview: The Residential Landscape Ecology Lab of Dr. Basil Iannone

applied, interdisciplinary research, biological invasions, and spatial
ecology, and good writing skills. Knowledge of computer simulations and
spatial statistics, while beneficial, are not required to apply.
