About this position
Louisiana State University’s Forest Entomology Research Group in the Department of Entomology is seeking a PhD student in conservation ecology to start in Spring 2027. The project is centered on forest entomology, arthropod ecology, insect ecology, biodiversity, and restoration ecology, with a strong focus on how environmental variability shapes species interactions in forest ecosystems.
The advertised PhD project examines the ecology of terrestrial arthropods and insect communities in the context of a large restoration effort at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. The work includes studying invasive species impacts, habitat change, and the abundance and diversity of insects, birds, and plants in early-stage restoration plots. The student will collaborate with researchers from the USDA Forest Service, USDA-APHIS, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Eligibility highlights: the project is field-intensive and requires someone willing to work in hot, humid, wet subtropical conditions in southeastern Louisiana. Candidates should be comfortable in habitats with snakes, mosquitoes, and other wildlife, and must have or be able to obtain a Louisiana driver’s license. Overnight travel is expected, and teamwork and leadership are important. Applicants are expected to have completed a master’s degree in entomology, ecology/evolution, or natural resources. Preferred applicants have clear career goals, experience collecting and identifying terrestrial arthropods (especially Coleoptera and Hymenoptera), strong writing skills, and evidence of publications, technical reports, grants, or awards.
Funding: admitted students will receive a competitive stipend, partial health insurance coverage, and a tuition waiver. Four years of funding are guaranteed.
How to apply: interested students should first email Dr. Todd D. Johnson with a CV, unofficial transcripts, contact information for three references, a 1–2 page statement of research interests/experience/future goals, and one additional writing sample such as a publication. Applicants who do not contact Dr. Johnson before applying will not be considered. Successful applicants must also submit an application to the LSU Graduate School.
Application timing: the post states the PhD start date as Spring 2027. No explicit deadline is provided in the post.
