The Couture lab at Purdue University is accepting applications for graduate positions to study the role of phytochemical diversity on plant-insect interactions and ecosystem functioning in natural and managed systems, including temperate forests, bioenergy poplar, and industrial hemp.
Research in my lab (couturelabpurdue.weebly.com) focuses on plant and insect chemical ecology at multiple spatial scales. Individuals in my lab receive multidisciplinary training, including plant and insect ecology and physiology, analytical chemistry, and spectroscopy. Interested applicants should send a letter of interest, CV, GRE scores, and contact information for three references to John Couture ([email protected]). Individuals from groups underrepresented in science are particularly encouraged to apply. Highly qualified applicants will be encouraged to apply to the Department of Entomology (https://ag.purdue.edu/entm) before December 1st for entrance fellowships. ​
