Welcome to the Marx Lab webpage!
Major update: We are moving! I’ve accepted a position at Cornell as Director of the L. H. Bailey Herbarium and Assistant Professor in the School of Integrative Plant Science. The Marx Lab will relocate to Ithaca in January 2025.
I will be recruiting grad students, technicians, postdocs, and undergraduates. If you are interested in working together, please contact me.
More information on specific positions will be posted soon!
Research in the Marx Lab aims to identify processes that drive patterns of biodiversity across space and time in natural ecosystems. We combine fieldwork and bioinformatic approaches to explore diversity dynamics across plant communities within oceanic and alpine "sky" islands. Collections-based research and Herbarium development are central to our work.
Our long-term goal is to bridge themes from ecology and evolution and develop actionable scientific tools for predicting and managing future changes to plant ecosystems.
