The Post Lab is located on the fourth floor of Osborn Memorial Laboraories, at the base of Science Hill, on the corner of Sachem and Prospect. I am always looking for enthusiastic undergraduate and graduate students (and postdocs) to join my lab.My research applies empirical and theoretical methods, often within a food-web framework, to answer questions at the interface of population, community, and ecosystem ecology. I primarily work in aquatic ecosystems, but I also study interactions and processes that link aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. For a more thorough description of my research, please take a look at the Post Lab research page. I am looking for inquisitive, creative, collaborative, and hardworking students and postdoctoral researchers. I strongly believe in a stepwise approach to student training. Upon entering the Post Lab, I will work with you to develop a research program that matches your experience, expectations, and goals. I strongly encourage students new to research (at any level of education) to work with me on my projects in order to gain experience in, and develop intuition for, different ecological systems (extremely valuable even if you never work in that system again). As you gain experience, I will help you, and expect you, to branch out and become more independent. |
