Ph.D. and M.S. positions are available to begin in the fall of 2014 in the lab of Liza Holeski (http://nau.edu/CEFNS/NatSci/Biology/Faculty-Staff/Faculty-Pages/Liza-Holeski/), Dept. of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University. Research in the lab broadly focuses on the evolution, genetics, and ecology of plant-herbivore interactions within Mimulus and Populus species. The graduate students will use a variety of greenhouse, laboratory, and field-based approaches to investigate the genetics and phenotypic plasticity of plant morphological and chemical traits that influence plant-herbivore interactions.
