research in the context of a new NSF project investigating the roles of
colonization history and species pools in mediating the assembly dynamics
and ecosystem functioning of plant communities. The student will be involved
as a key collaborator on the project, but will also be encouraged to develop
independent avenues of research in community ecology.
Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Biology, Ecology,
Evolution, Botany, Range Science or related field. Prior research experience
as an undergraduate or master's student is preferred.
