PhD Positions in Macroecology, Macroevolution and Movement Ecology
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Yale University

1-2 PhD positions are available in our research group starting fall
2015. We are interested in students with strong research experience who
are excited about interdisciplinary work spanning a range of ecological
scales.  Applicants should have a strong interest in combining theory,
modeling, and fieldwork to address questions in macroecology or
macroevolution. In addition to our ongoing interest in terrestrial
vertebrates we are currently recruiting students keen to work on
dragonflies, butterflies or select plant groups and fish. There are
particular opportunities for someone with strong field experience in
birds to work on movement ecology questions.

In the Jetz Lab (http://jetzlab.yale.edu), the successful candidate
will interact with two PhD students and four postdoctoral fellows and
the Map of Life team (http://mol.org/). The student will also benefit
from training activities in the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental
Studies, the Program in Spatial Biodiversity Science and Conservation,
http://sbsc.yale.edu/), the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies
(http://www.yale.edu/yibs) and the Peabody Museum.

For further information about the EEB graduate program see
http://eeb.yale.edu/academics/graduate- program. Significant prior
research experience (e.g. as evidenced by publications) and high GRE
scores are required for applications to be competitive. Applications
are due Dec 15, 2014.
