The King Laboratory
of Theoretical Ecology & Evolution
at the University of Michigan
 In the King Lab, we investigate a variety of theoretical topics in ecology and evolution. We use mathematical and statistical approaches to understand ecological interactions, their evolution, and their consequences. Formalizing scientific hypotheses as mathematical models allows for precise predictions and powerful inference. One major focus of our research is the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases. We formulate mathematical models and confront them with data to learn about the mechanisms that operate in the host-pathogen interaction and about how they are likely to evolve. Students and postdocs in the lab have a wide range of interests; the common thread is the use of rigorous mathematical and statistical approaches. |

The lab accepts graduate students through three programs: Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Applied & Interdisciplinary Mathematics, and Mathematics. Students interested in applying should have a strong quantitative background, some experience with scientific computation, and a burning interest in developing and testing theory for real ecological systems. Please contact Prof. King if you're interested in joining us. |
