About this position
The Shefferson lab at the University of Tokyo is recruiting graduate students for a JSPS-funded research project in evolutionary demography and life history evolution in long-lived plants.
This opportunity is open at both the MS and PhD levels. The lab works on plant ecology, evolutionary ecology, population dynamics, conservation of rare plant populations, the evolutionary loss of photosynthesis, and mycorrhizal evolution. Current projects use game theoretical models to study plant population evolution and community dynamics.
Students may focus on these themes or propose related topics in plant or general evolutionary ecology. Typical research methods include in situ monitoring and experimentation, plus modeling and analysis in R and/or C++. The lab also develops computational tools, including the R package adapt3.
The post mentions ongoing field projects in Japan, Estonia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Interested applicants are encouraged to review the lab website and related project/media links for more information.
No deadline, stipend amount, or direct application portal is stated in the post.
