The lab is always looking for Masters and Ph.D. students interested in plant and ecosystem ecology, but has limited space at the moment. Please reach out to Nick if you are interested in discussing opportunities.
The lab is fully equipped to explore the response and feedback of plants to environmental change. I am interested in students with diverse backgrounds in any one or combination of plant physiology, ecology, mathematics, statistics, or modeling. Though, a desire to broaden your skills is strongly preferred!
As a graduate student in my lab, you will be given the freedom to explore topics and develop projects that you are passionate about. To encourage the development of new skills, I may ask you to step outside your comfort zone. I encourage collaboration among lab members as well as with other researchers at Texas Tech and institutions with which we collaborate, including universities and national laboratories.
There is competitive funding to support students through a combination of Research and Teaching Assistantships and internal fellowships. Additionally, we have funds for multi-scale field, lab, and computational experiments as well as dissemination of research at local, national, and international meetings.
Interested students should contact Nick to discuss opportunities.
Please note that the typical start time for graduate studies in the department is in the Fall.
The lab is currently looking for a postdoc to join the group at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The research topic is open, but should align the goals and expertise of the lab. Interested parties can contact Nick to discuss further.
