Subject: Graduate student opportunity in population biology and reproductive behavior of an insect herbivore at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
The Doak and Wagner labs at the University of Alaska Fairbanks are accepting applications for a graduate position (MS) to study the population biology and mating behavior of the aspen leaf miner (Phyllocnistis populiella). Research focuses on the role of multiple mating on reproductive success and population growth in a widespread herbivore prone to population outbreaks of extended duration. Applicants should be strongly motivated to work on insect ecology in the Alaskan boreal forest, and have competitive GPA and GRE scores. The preferred start date is late spring 2017. If interested please send a letter of interest, CV, GRE scores and contact information for three references to Pat Doak, pd...@alaska.edu.
