Fully Funded PhD in Theoretical Ecology / Ecohydrology at UC Davis
University of California Davis, California, United States
Start reviewing process: 1 October 2025


I am recruiting for a fully funded PhD student to join my group in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at UC Davis. I welcome applicants with broad interest in theoretical ecology, ecohydrology, or biogeomorphology and I am excited to develop specific projects collaboratively with the student.


Possible research directions include ecosystem spatial self-organization, vegetation pattern formation, and coupled landscape-plant evolution. Strong applicants will have excellent mathematical and numerical skills, as well as a passion for tackling big questions at the intersection of disciplines, by combining modeling with data.

More information about research in my group can be found here: https://xdong05.github.io. Please encourage any interested students to reach out to me (xldong@ucdavis.edu) to discuss opportunities and research interests.

Thank you, and apologies for any cross-listing.

Best regards,


Xiaoli Dong
Associate Professor

Department of Environmental Science and Policy, UC Davis

Of interest for:
  • Terrestrial Working Group
  • Hydrology Focus Research Group
  • Ecosystem Dynamics Focus Research Group
