Hi all, PhD positions are now available in my lab as part of several NSF funded projects examining rates of morphological evolution of complex traits (shape) in salamanders and scallops. The broad goals of these projects are to investigate the tempo and mode of macroevolution of complex traits, to develop analytical approaches to identify patterns of evolution of shape in a phylogenetic context, and to empirically evaluate such patterns in several groups of animals (salamanders and scallops). Prospective graduate students interested in geometric morphometrics, macroevolution, and evolutionary theory are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants may develop an independent research project within these areas, or one that complements or extends other research in the lab. For more information about the research in our lab please visit our website: http://www.public.iastate.edu/~dcadams/ Interested candidates should contact Dr. Dean Adams at dcad...@iastate.edu.
