Graduate Opportunity ####
\nEcosystem response to rapid evolution, University of Notre Dame, Biological Sciences.<\/h4>\n

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.\u00a0Our study system relies on\u00a0individuals\u00a0of 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<\/a>), or submit a letter detailing your interest and relevant background to Jason McLachlan (jmclachl@nd.edu<\/a>). Please CC the project manager, Jody Peters (peters.63@nd.edu<\/a>). Applications to Notre Dame Biological Sciences are due December 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
