Prospective master and PhD Students
We are looking for rigorously trained students interested in ecological approaches to understanding the complexity of nature and tackling the challenges of environmental change. We hope candidates would sooner work in an inclusive, interdisciplinary lab that values multiple perspectives of science, and be willing to collaborate in the fieldwork, laboratory, and quantatitive modelling.
We are not wedded to any topic or idea but rather motivated by a zeal for both application and advancing fundamental insight. Albeit with recognising the importance of disciplinary traditions for successful scholarship, we welcome candiates from different disciplinaries without consideration for boundaries between ecology and others. Ideal candidates will be savvy about one or more of the following and interested in at least three: (a) biodiversity dynamics; (b) quantitative analysis and modelling; (c) social systems, especially the role of human cultures in understanding biodiversity change; (d) global change; (e) animal movements; (f) connectivity science (especially network science); (g) species interactions; (h) species range shift.
We are recruiting two postdocs on (a) animal movements and connectivity science and (b) biodiversity dynamics. Announcements will be coming soon, but if you are interested in them， please feel free to contact me.
We actively welcome academic and non-academic visitors to ZIEL, particularly for the purposes of conducting collaborative research with one or more members of the group. Proposals for short or extended visits, including sabbaticals, should be directed by email.
