Craig L.

I look forward to assisting you in any writing, editing, or academic mentoring capacity. I am a Senior Fellow with the Center for Environment and Sustainability and a Research Professor of Biology at Wake Forest University. I am in a role that allows me to work remotely and pursue opportunities outside my teaching and research efforts at Wake Forest. Before pursuing this more flexible academic track, I was a tenured Full Professor at North Carolina State University, a Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Fellow in the Applied Ecology Department, and hired as a founding member of the Global Environmental Change and Human Well-being Cluster. I received my Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from Texas A&M University in 2004 (with a Minor in Philosophy). I was also a Yale Donnelley Postdoctoral Fellow and completed a year-long Fulbright Scholarship for research and education projects in Venezuela. I have 158 publications (cited more than 19,900 times; h-index of 66) in 67 different peer-reviewed journals, spanning many sub-disciplines. I have served as Editor-in-Chief for the peer-reviewed journals Food Webs and Caribbean Naturalist and as Handling Editor for Oecologia and PLoS One. I was a part-time Research Leadership and Success Consultant for CareerVolt, a role that required expertise in grant proposal/manuscript writing and editing. Over the last 10 years, I have reviewed/edited manuscripts for more than 80 different journals and 7 different funding agencies. I was a part-time Research Leadership and Success Consultant for CareerVolt, a role that required expertise in grant proposal writing and editing. I have also received more than $2 million in federal grant funding. These experiences provide a strong foundation for scientific writing, editing, and coaching roles. Please send me a message so we can discuss your specific needs. I hope I can help! Sincerely, Dr. Craig Layman
