The Dyer laboratory is in search of a doctoral student in the Integrative Life Sciences (ILS) PhD Program ( http://lifesciences.vcu.edu/academic-programs/phd-in-integrative-life-sciences/) at Virginia Commonwealth University to work on theoretical, statistical, and computational problems in modern landscape genetics.
The research in the lab focuses on genetic connectivity predicted by intervening landscape structure. Ongoing projects include studies on pollen-mediated gene flow along urban gradients and spread of the gypsy moth invasion front, both projects have funding and will be incorporating LiDAR & Hyperspectral characterization of intervening landscapes via drones and high-throughput genetic analyses. I'm looking for someone who can aid in the development of conditional genetic and spatial models that can integrate remotely sensed data. Interested students should send a CV to Dr. Rodney Dyer (rjd...@vcu.edu) before applying. -- Rodney J.
