I’m recruiting a Ph.D. student to work on projects dealing with: hybridization and genomic patterns of introgression in the Fundulus notatus species complex, thermal ecology of a broadly distributed grazing minnow, and conservation biology and population genomics of a Mississippi endemic darter.
All students admitted to the program receive a full tuition waiver, health insurance and support in the form of either a teaching or research assistantship. Information on the program and admission procedures can be found here: http://www.usm.edu/biological-sciences/graduate-program Students should have a M.S. degree and experience working with stream fishes. Projects will offer professional development through a mix of field sampling, lab work, manipulative mesocosm experiments and collaboration with other universities. Information on the Schaefer lab can be found at http://ichthyology.usm.edu/ Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Jake Schaefer ([email protected]), providing a brief review of research interests and experience.
