The Darrouzet-Nardi Laboratory at the University of Texas at El Paso is recruiting a Ph.D. student in UTEP's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Ph.D. Program to work on the soon-to-launch CrustNet project. CrustNet is an international distributed experimental network focused on biocrust ecology, examining biocrust biodiversity, function, and resilience in the face of global change. The role for this Ph.D. student will be to run CrustNet sampling nodes in the Chihuahuan Desert and to analyze biocrust samples from dozens of sites around the world. It is the perfect project for a desert or biocrust lover and represents a tremendous opportunity to network with the global community of biocrust researchers and to develop high-impact publications based on network data. For more information, please see my website below or send an inquiry email to ajdarrouzetnardi@utep.edu. Also, I will be at ESA in Long Beach, so if you are interested in meeting with me there to learn more, please reach out.
