Interested in Ecological Parasitology at UCSB?
Read on for more information.
- From which UCSB departments are students sponsored?
Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology and the Marine Science Graduate Program
- What types of students does the lab seek?
Ecologists willing to learn about infectious diseases; parasitologists willing to learn ecology. Individuals with independent personalities.
Our basic philosophy about Ph.D students is that their thesis should undertake the largest and most significant project they think they can complete. While most of the students conduct thesis research in association with ecological studies in the salt marshes, e.g., trematode parasites in invertebrate hosts, some engage in research in entirely different systems of their own choosing. Any type of host or parasite is "fair game" for thesis research. The lab has no habitat or taxonomic limits.
- What type of research are current students working on?
Their research is field based and usually a mix of field and laboratory studies, experimentation and empirical observations.
- What are former students doing now?
