MS/Ph.D. Position in Coastal Plant Ecology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette

The Zerebecki Coastal Plant Ecology Lab (https://lnkd.in/gTCeAUKU) at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette invites applications for a PhD or MS position starting in Spring 2025.

Research in the lab focuses on: 1) the ecological effects of genetic diversity within coastal and wetland foundation plant species; 2) eco-evolutionary feedbacks in coastal marshes; and 3) the impacts and responses of wetlands to changing environmental conditions. Current lab projects are exploring these questions in salt marsh and mangrove habitats and within coastal restoration projects. We use a variety of techniques in our work, including field surveys, field and greenhouse experiments, and molecular analyses, to address ecological and evolutionary questions.


The desired candidate will be interested in coastal plant ecology. They will lead the development of a project exploring ecological questions within coastal salt marshes in alignment with their own interests. The student will have opportunities to conduct experiments in the lab, greenhouse, and field setting, working with a fun, and supportive lab group.

Candidates with experience conducting fieldwork in aquatic and wetland ecosystems, or with standard molecular assays (e.g., DNA extractions, and PCR), possessing strong quantitative and writing skills, ability to work collaboratively and independently and with a passion for ecology are particularly encouraged to apply.

A BS (and preferably a MS if interested in pursing a PhD) in the field of ecology, ecology & evolution, botany, marine biology, environmental science, biology or other related field of study is required.

The graduate student will be supported with a teaching and/or research assistantship consisting of a $22,000 USD per academic year (10-month) stipend and a tuition waiver. Note this minimum stipend is a starting point: additional top-up is possible contingent on scholarships and additional funds in the lab.

Interested candidates, please email (1) a statement of interest describing what area(s) of research you are most interested in exploring and any previous experience and skills related to those interests; (2) CV/resume and 3) contact information for 2 professional references to Dr. Robyn Zerebecki (robyn.zerebecki@louisiana.edu).

Candidates will be contacted for further discussion (including formal application). Review of applications will begin immediately and the position will remain open until filled. Individuals from historically underrepresented groups in STEM are encouraged to apply.
