The Bernal lab at Texas Tech University is looking to recruit 1-2 graduate students for either masters or doctoral work beginning in fall 2013. The applicant(s) will be part of a team investigating interspecific eavesdropping of mating signals by frog-biting midges at multiple levels of analysis. Applicants should be independent, highly motivated, and some research and/or field experience with insects would be a plus. Funding will be provided either as teaching assistantships or fellowships, depending on student background and availability.
Research in the Bernal lab generally addresses questions about behavioral ecology about signal function and evolution by performing experiments within a naturalistic context. Specific research topics have included a wide array of ecological and evolutionary questions. For further information on the Bernal lab see: http://www.webpages.ttu.edu/xbernal/ If interested, please send by email ([email protected]) a statement of research interests, CV, and an unofficial transcript plus your GRE scores. Applications received before Jan 10th will be considered. Ximena E.
