The Barber lab at Boise State University seeks an MS graduate student to work on bat-moth interactions. A Teaching Assistantship and summer RA salary are available for this post. The work will focus on laboratory investigations (3D high-speed videography) of bat-moth battles and opportunities for fieldwork in Borneo or French Guiana will be available. The project may include collaborative genomic work and travel to the Kawahara lab at the University of Florida. Ultimate goals include understanding the function and evolution of anti-bat strategies in moths.
