BIG NEWS! The Jones Lab will be relocating to the School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability (SEES) at the University of Iowa in Fall 2026. Our work on disturbance ecology and conservation science will continue on – just in a new home! We’ll be recruiting new students, staff, and postdocs, so check back on this page periodically for updates.
I will periodically take on graduate students, postdocs, and other staff scientists to join my group via the School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability (SEES) at the University of Iowa. When funding is available, students and postdocs are supported by working on an existing project under my direction. Otherwise, applicants must obtain their own funding via, for example, NSF or EPA fellowships, natural resources agencies, foundations or other sources. In SEES, teaching assistantships are also available for students who do not have (or have not yet secured) their research funding.
I encourage interested and qualified applicants to email me their CV and briefly describe their interests. However, before contacting me, prospective students and postdocs should examine the research we conduct and read representative publications. Prospective students and postdocs should have an interest in both applied and basic aspects of conservation biology, landscape ecology, and have a strong quantitative background. In addition to shared research interests, I typically accept graduate students that have a strong academic record and previous field and/or laboratory experience in the field of ecology and/or conservation science.
