Opportunities

I am interested in recruiting new graduate students to the lab, with a broad interest in population and infectious disease ecology.  Specifically, I would be keen to hear from potential students who have an interest in the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, general host-natural enemy interactions, spatial ecology and theoretical ecology. More broadly, our research addresses questions on spatial synchrony in metapopulations and its impacts on extinction-colonization, the mechanisms and impact of seasonality in population dynamics and eco-evolutionary trajectories.  Currently, lab research involves a range of approaches that combine field experiments, laboratory microcosm systems, statistical analyses of historical and concurrent data and mathematical/computational modelling approaches. 

Funding is available.

If you are interested in the lab’s research focus, please send me an e-mail (rohani@uga.edu) for more information. You can also visit the Odum School of Ecology webpage for more information on graduate programs and the application process.  I can also accept students through UGA’s Integrated Life Sciences program and the Institute of Bioinformatics.
