Dear Colleagues,

I am recruiting for a fully funded PhD student to join my group in the
Department of Environmental Science and Policy at UC Davis. I welcome
applicants with broad interest in theoretical ecology, ecohydrology,
or biogeomorphology and I am excited to develop specific projects
collaboratively with the student.

Possible research directions include ecosystem spatial self-organization,
vegetation pattern formation, and coupled landscape-plant
evolution. Strong applicants will have excellent mathematical and
numerical skills, as well as a passion for tackling big questions at
the intersection of disciplines, by combining modeling with data.

More information about research in my group can be found here:
https://xdong05.github.io. Please encourage any interested students
to reach out to me (xld...@ucdavis.edu) to discuss opportunities and
research interests.

Thank you, and apologies for any cross-listing.

Best regards,

Xiaoli Dong
Associate Professor
Department of Environmental Science and Policy, UC Davis
