General Opportunities

Our focus is on basic, integrative, ecological and evolutionary research, with application to contemporary issues such as conservation biology, invasive species, marine protected areas, and global change:

i.   Long-term ecological and evolutionary studies of community assembly and dynamics (in Palau and in the northesastern Pacific 
ii.  Systematics, biogeography, ecology, population genetics, and evolution of scyphozoan jellyfishes (global)
iii. Comparative population genomics of intertidal invertebrates (northeastern Pacific)
iv.  Behavior, ecological genomics, and population genomics of Mastigias jellyfishes 
v.   Island biogeography, ecology, & evolution (Palau and the Indo-West Pacific) 
vi.  Marine, terrestrial, freshwater, aerial comparisons & contrasts
vii. Ecological genomics of pelagic symbioses

For additional information on our ecological and evolutionary genomics projects see our lab's sister site G*Enomics of Marine Organisms https://cgomo.net/

A quick overview of the way we think about research intersections can be found here.

Our lab aims to foster community among all individuals with varying backgrounds and experiences. We value the origination and development of novel ideas and perspectives and discovery at their convergence. We wish to encourage, participate in, and cultivate a collaborative and creative research process that provides opportunity for shared understanding. Into this process, we welcome all perspectives that are not yet well-represented and the changes they will bring. We commit to facilitating equity, diversity and inclusion.
