Academic background

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983. I began a postdoctoral fellowship at the Ecosystems Center of Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Massachusetts) in 1983. I worked as a Research Scientist at the MBL until June 2002 when I left to spend a year as co-Director of the National Science Foundation's Ecosystem Studies Program. I joined the Univeristy of Michigan as Director of the Biological Station in June 2003 and as Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in September 2003. I also served as Panel Manager for the USDA Ecosystems Program in 1992 and was a Fulbright Research Fellow at the Norwegian Institute of Water Research (Oslo) and the Norwegian Institute of Forest Research (Aas) in 1996-97.
