Two Ph.D. positions in Evolution and Ecology
When: Fall 2011 Where: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Graduate Program (www.eeb.utoronto.ca), University of Toronto Mississauga (http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/~w3bio/homepage/) Who: Lab of Marc Johnson (www.evoeco.org) Details: Our lab will be moving to University of Toronto Mississauga (Canada) in July 2011 and we are looking to take on two Ph.D. students to start in fall 2011. Ph.D. students in our lab have the ability to work on a wide range of problems at the intersection of evolution and ecology. Some of the ongoing projects include: the evolutionary consequences of sex, micro- and macroevolution of plant defense, the causes and consequences of coevolution, the ecological consequences of genetic diversity and evolution, and the effects of climate change on plant-herbivore interactions. Students will have the ability to learn a wide range of techniques and skills in their projects, including lab and field work, molecular biology, phylogenetics, insect/plant rearing, chemistry, stats, theory, etc. Also, students can work within existing projects or develop new systems and questions. If you interested in applying to work in the lab and would like more information please visit the lab web page (www.evoeco.org) and write to me at marc_john...@ncsu.edu.
