In July 2008, I will be moving to Purdue University, where I will join the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources.

 

I am currently searching to fill the following positions at Purdue:

MS assistantships

Post-doctoral scientists

 

I am a Research Investigator with the Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research (CILER). CILER is a cooperative institute linking the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) and the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE), and I work closely with both students from UM-SNRE and a variety of researchers from NOAA-GLERL.

I am interested in environmental questions at the interface between applied and basic ecology. To address such questions I use an adaptive research approach and employ a variety of research methods (e.g., field sampling, controlled experiments, statistical analysis, simulation modeling). The focus of my research is fish and fisheries ecology in the Laurentian Great Lakes. However, I also study lower trophic level organisms and both smaller freshwater and larger marine ecosystems.
