Dear Prospective Student,

Thanks for your interest in conducting graduate studies in my lab at the University of Illinois. Students in our lab come to Illinois with previous experience in the tropics and a passion for field ecology. Students in my lab are enrolled in the Program for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (PEEB) and Plant Biology Graduate Program. Information on the admissions requirements and policies for PEEB are available online. I am always interested in hearing from highly motivated students with ideas for the development of their own research projects. Please send me an email, with your research goals, and details of your academic and research experience, so that we can explore how your interests might complement work on-going in the lab.

 With best regards,

 Jim Dalling
