ECOSYSTEM RESPONSE TO RAPID EVOLUTION, PHD OPPORTUNITY AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
We are recruiting a PhD student to work on an NSF sponsored project
studying the impact of rapid evolution on the productivity and
stability of coastal salt marshes. Our study system relies
on individuals of a foundational plant in this system (Schoenoplectus
americanus) revived from seed banks dating back over 100 years. Our
approach involves: measuring changes in plant physiology and growth in
controlled experiments; paleoecological analysis of marsh sediments;
synthesis of extensive field data; and Bayesian approaches to link
evolutionary and ecosystem processes. We welcome applicants with
strengths in any of these disciplines. For more information, see the
lab web page (https://sites.nd.edu/paleolab), or submit a letter
detailing your interest and relevant background to Jason McLachlan
(jmclachl@nd.edu). Please CC the project manager, Jody Peters
(peters.63@nd.edu). Applications to Notre Dame Biological Sciences are
due December 1.
