The Sears Lab at Clemson University is accepting graduate students (Masters or Doctoral) for the Fall of 2013. Students with interests in how physiology and behavior respond to changing climates (over ecological or evolutionary time scales) are encouraged to apply. Potential projects can take either theoretical (modeling) or experimental approaches in a lab or field context. Though the lab is particularly focussed on reptiles and amphibians, students with specific ideas for projects in other taxa are welcome to apply. Furthermore, research is typically focussed on systems in the desert SW (reptiles) or in the southeastern US (reptiles and amphibians).
If interested, please send a brief statement of interests, CV, GRE scores, and a copy of your transcript (does not need to be official) to Mike Sears ([email protected]). Review of applicants will begin immediately. The university deadline for applications is January 15, 2013. For more information about the lab, see http://www.thermalecology.com.
