Considering Graduate studies?
Interested in plant ecology & evolution?
I am looking for graduate students at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. level who enjoy field work and are undaunted by statistics and/or computer programming. If you're interested in the ecology and evolution of plant reproduction, send me a quick email to find out about projects and funding opportunities in the lab. I am also open to new project ideas and my students have had success studying topics that complement the major research focus in the lab, such as conservation genetics and invasive plants.
