Dr. Jason Rohr is looking to recruit graduate students into his laboratory of
Ecology and Public Health. His laboratory studies interactions among
infectious diseases of humans and wildlife, pollution, food production, climate
change, and fundamental and applied ecology. More specifically, he is
currently studying interactions among human schistosomiasis (neglected tropical
disease), food and water access, agrochemicals, and climate in the laboratory
and Western Africa; interactions among pollution, climate change, and
infectious diseases of amphibians (e.g. chytrid fungus, ranavirus, trematodes,
and nematodes) and their contributions to amphibian population declines; the
benefits of mass drug administration to control the major helminths of humans;
the role of pesticides in birth defects, childhood cancers, and declines of
stream biodiversity and ecosystem functions; pollution-microbiome-disease
interactions; biodiversity-disease relationships; and fundamental and applied
freshwater ecology. Please see his lab website for more details
http://shell.cas.usf.edu/rohrlab/. Please also consult Rohr’s Prospective
Graduate Student link: http://shell.cas.usf.edu/rohrlab/prospgradstudents.html.

The Rohr Lab will be moving to the University of Notre Dame’s Department of
Biological Sciences (https://biology.nd.edu/) this summer, so please submit
application materials through the University of Notre Dame
(https://gradconnect.nd.edu/apply/) by the Dec. 1, 2018 deadline. Please send
questions to Jason Rohr at jasonr...@gmail.com or call 813-974-0156.

Dr. Rohr is aware that this advertisement is only two weeks before the
