The Kramer laboratory in the Department of Integrative Biology at the
University of South Florida (https://kramera3.github.io) is seeking a
graduate student to study the spatial dynamics of invasive species using
computational approaches, beginning in August 2018. Research in the lab
includes the population ecology of invasion, extinction and species
coexistence. This project will build on previous work on forecasting
potential invaders and patterns of spatial spread. Applicants interested in
species distribution models, spatial dynamics, or aquatic invasive species
are particularly encouraged to apply.
Competitive applicants will have quantitative skills and strong oral and
written communication abilities. Applicants with previous experience in
ecological research, statistics, computer code, and/or spatial analysis are
preferred.
Funding for the position will likely come from a teaching assistantship
during the academic year and research assistantship during the summer.
Tuition (not including fees), medical insurance and travel to professional
meetings are covered.
*To Apply*
For consideration please email a cover letter stating your research interest
