About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of Michigan, School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS), in the Ferraro Lab, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

The project focuses on animal-ecosystem interactions, with research on how animal movement, behavior, and population dynamics influence the transport and cycling of elements across landscapes. The lab’s ongoing interests include caribou ecology, herbivore rewilding ethics, deer effects in Michigan, and a cross-species study of animal-derived material decomposition across the United States and Canada.

This is a strong fit for students interested in ecosystem ecology, animal ecology, biogeochemistry, and conservation ethics. The student will develop independent dissertation chapters while contributing to collaborative research in the Ferraro Lab.

Funding is described as five years guaranteed, supported through RA, TA, fellowships, or a combination of these sources.

Eligibility highlights include a bachelor's or master's degree in ecology, environmental science, biology, or a related field. The post also values curiosity, self-motivation, and willingness to work across disciplinary boundaries; field, quantitative, or modeling experience is a plus but not required.

No formal deadline is specified in the post. Interested candidates are directed to express interest via the Google Form linked in the announcement and to review the attached full details.
