Ph.D. Student in Plant Community Ecology

Farrior Lab, University of Texas at Austin · Texas · assistantship · posted today

The Farrior Lab at UT Austin is seeking a Ph.D. student to start in Fall 2027. Broadly, the Farrior Lab integrates theory with data to forward our understanding of plant communities. With the many global-scale changes that our ecosystems face, we need an understanding of ecosystem functioning free from species-specific details and based on the mechanisms that govern past, current, and future ecosystems. Major projects in the lab at the moment include (1) the integration of theory with data to uncover common drivers of forest dynamics from the tropics to the temperate zone and (2) theoretical work to determine the ultimate causes of species coexistence. If you are interested, please contact Caroline Farrior (cfarrior@utexas.edu). In your email include a CV, unofficial transcript, and a short description of your research experience and interests. Research interests that align with the research group's broader goals but are not part of the current projects are also welcome. Applications are due to the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (EEB) or the Plant Biology graduate programs by December 1st, but candidates are strongly encouraged to reach out ahead of time.
