The Krueger-Hadfield Evolutionary Ecology Lab is searching for graduate students to join the lab in Fall 2019.
The Krueger-Hadfield lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham is anticipating recruiting a M.S. and a Ph.D. student for Fall 2019. We use natural history, manipulative field and laboratory experiments, and population genetics and genomics in algae and invertebrates in order to test hypotheses centered on the evolutionary maintenance of sex. You can learn more about the Krueger-Hadfield lab at https://www.quooddy.com The M.S. project, recently funded by the Binational Science Foundation, will focus on the mating system dynamics of two seaweeds, one native and one non-native to the Levantine region of the Mediterranean. The Ph.D. project will investigate mating system and life cycle variation along a latitudinal gradient in the western Atlantic. UAB is located in the heart of Birmingham. We have a vibrant and diverse biology faculty, including a cohort of marine biologists, and three phycologists. Information on the biology department graduate program is at https://www.uab.edu/cas/biology/graduate. Potential applicants should pay particular attention to the admission requirements (https://www.uab.edu/cas/biology/graduate/admissions). If you are interested, please send an email to Dr. Stacy Krueger-Hadfield ([email protected] ) including the following: 1) a statement of research interests and how those interests fit into the Krueger-Hadfield lab, 2) your CV, and 3) your GPA and GRE scores.
