Graduate Research: Evolutionary Ecology of Host-Parasite Interactions
Clayton-Bush Lab, Dept. of Biology, Univ. of Utah
We are seeking one or two highly motivated Ph.D. students interested in the
evolutionary ecology of host-parasite systems. Projects in our lab focus on
factors governing parasite specificity, speciation, co-speciation,
competition, adaptive radiation, and reciprocal selective effects between
parasites and hosts. We also do taxonomic and phylogenetic work on birds
and their host-specific feather lice.
Positions are available for Fall Semester, 2014. Students in our lab are
supported by a combination of fellowships, research assistantships, and
teaching assistantships. Support is guaranteed for five years, contingent
upon performance.
Please visit www.biology.utah.edu for departmental information. Admission
requirements and applications are available at
www.biology.utah.edu/graduate/eeob. The application deadline is January
6th, 2014.
