The Fuxjager lab is seeking applications for graduate student positions (M.S. or Ph.D.) in the Biology Department at Wake Forest University. The lab is broadly interested in the physiological mechanisms of complex social behavior, and we integrate concepts from the fields of physiology, animal behavior, and evolution. Of particular interest are the mechanisms by which hormone systems regulate avian territoriality and social signaling, and the way that evolutionary forces shape these mechanisms to drive species differences in behavioral ability and strategy. The laboratory has opportunities for fieldwork in both North Carolina and Central and South America. Additional information is found on the laboratory website (fuxjagerlab.com).
Successful applicants are guaranteed funding through teaching assistantships, though promising applicants are also eligible for funding through research assistantships. The Biology Department at Wake Forest is made of a diverse and vibrant research community, with specialties in the areas of organismal biology.
Interested applicants should contact the lab PI, Dr. Matt Fuxjager, by email (fuxj...@wfu.edu). Please include a copy of your CV and a statement that described your research interests and goals.
