James Lab at the University of Toronto is looking for enthusiastic
graduate students to undertake projects in spatial ecology and forest
health. Our work aims to improve understanding of landscape-level
disturbance and recovery processes in forest ecosystems in order to
meaningfully inform sustainable resource management.
You can learn more about the James Lab here: https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=www.jameslab.ca&data=02%7C01%7Ceric.schultz%40uconn.edu%7C2ea9daff786544895b9b08d6ce1635f1%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C636922992136907067&sdata=5xGw%2BXIUdEJFsDBw0CZG6RlacC18H1RrYjod2MoehPw%3D&reserved=0
The shape and specifics of individual graduate student projects are
formed through collaboration with you and our research partners.
Possible project areas include: insect–wildfire interactions, cumulative
effects of disturbances on forest health and wildlife habitat, spatial
population dynamics of outbreaking species, meta-community dynamics in
continuous landscapes, and landscape genetics of forest insect pests.
Experience with some, or all, of {forest ecology, R, GIS, statistics, or
population genetics} will put you on a good footing.
To apply, first refer to the guidelines for admission to graduate
studies in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto:
motivation, your CV, recent transcripts, and the names of two references
to Dr. Patrick James: patrick.ma.james@gmail.com
.
The start date is not fixed, but a reasonable target is January 2020.
