PhD Position in Environmental Change and Freshwater Fishes

We are interested in what traits make species vulnerable to climate change versus other factors, what controls species invasions, and how we can improve restoration effortsβ€”among other questions. 
Our research ranges from physiological experiments to modelling changes in species distribution over large regions and long time periods. We work with historical data and museum specimens and collaborate with practitioners across the Great Lakes Basin and from varied disciplines.
