The Van Cleve lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Kentucky is currently recruiting Ph.D. students to join the lab in Fall 2016. The lab in generally interested in quantitative and mathematical approaches to evolutionary biology and ecology and current research areas include social evolution, phenotypic plasticity and bet-hedging, and epigenetic processes including genomic imprinting.
Additionally, the lab aims to be broadly interdisciplinary across complex biological systems from the molecular to metapopulation scales and welcomes applicants interested in quantitative approaches and with diverse backgrounds including (but not limited to) mathematics, physics, computer science, and economics. The exact research project topics for potential students are flexible, though interested individuals should contact Jeremy Van Cleve ( [email protected]) with a CV and short statement of interests before applying. Applicants should apply to the Department of Biology Graduate program ( https://bio.as.uky.edu/grad-program), and admission guidelines can be found at: https://bio.as.uky.edu/admissions-0. Questions about the Biology Graduate program can be sent to the Director of Graduate studies, David F. Westneat ([email protected]). Please note that applications should be received by January 1st 2016 for full consideration. -- Jeremy Van Cleve Assistant Professor Department of Biology University of Kentucky E-mail: [email protected] Webpage: http://vancleve.theoretical.bio Phone: (859) 218-3020
