Information for potential graduate students and post-docs: |
In fall 2012, I hope to admit one student to work on the Urban Pollination project. I do not expect to admit any other students in 2012. I am always interested in helping postdocs write proposals to do research in the lab. In general, prospective graduate students should read over the information on the research page for ideas about potential projects. I am particularly interested in developing new research projects that focus on ecological issues in the Chicago area, and I have a number of projects in mind, but I would also encourage independent students to develop their own research projects as long as they are related to (1) spatial heterogeneity and patterns in ecology, and/or (2) ecological consequences of urban development. For some good insights into graduate school, visit Hank Howe's web page. UIC and the surrounding area present wonderful opportunities for ecological researchers and students. The academic community in the Department of Biological Sciences is very collegial and contains faculty with strengths in animal behavior, community ecology, and landscape genetics, among others. At UIC alone, we have many collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts such as the LEAP program and IESP. We are also in the middle of a larger and intellectually vibrant research community including the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Field Museum, and nearby universities such as Northwestern and University of Chicago. |
