About this position

The Johnson Lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas is offering a fully funded PhD position beginning in Fall 2027 in photosynthesis and global ecology.

The project will link plant physiology experiments with satellite remote sensing and Earth system modeling to improve understanding of photosynthesis and the global carbon cycle. The doctoral researcher will work across experimental plant science, ecological analysis, remote sensing, and Earth system science, connecting physiological processes observed in plants with patterns and dynamics measured at global scales.

Research in the Johnson Lab provides an interdisciplinary environment for investigating plant function, ecosystem processes, and the role of photosynthesis in the Earth’s carbon cycle. The project is supervised by Dr. Jennifer E. Johnson within the University of Kansas Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.

Funding details

The PhD position is fully funded. No stipend amount or specific tuition and benefits details are provided.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong background in biology, biochemistry, biophysics, ecology, plant science, environmental science, Earth system science, or a related field, along with prior research experience. A cover letter and CV are required for the initial email application.

How to apply

Email Dr. Jennifer E. Johnson at [email protected] with a cover letter and CV. Then submit the application through the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology how-to-apply page: https://eeb.ku.edu/how-apply.
