Graduate Position in Behavioral Ecology
A PhD position is available in the lab of Lisa Angeloni at Colorado
State University. Motivated students interested in evolutionary ecology,
sexual selection, and animal mating behavior are encouraged to apply. We
are investigating the mating strategies of Trinidadian guppy populations
that experience different levels of predation pressure in their natural
habitats. Predation can affect guppy life history strategies, male color
patterns, male mating behavior and female preferences for male traits.
This project focuses on the interaction between reproductive behavior
and predation pressure, but there are many possible questions to ask
with this system, and a new graduate student will have the opportunity
to help shape the scope of the project. Applications can be submitted
through the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology
(http://www.ecology.colostate.edu) or the Department of Biology
(http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/Biology). Prior to applying, please send
a preliminary statement of interest (along with a CV or resume)
describing previous research experience, research interests, GPA, and
GRE scores by January 5, 2008 to Lisa Angeloni
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Applications will be reviewed as they
come in, and may also be reviewed after the target date if the position
has not been filled.
