Looking for PhD students to study individual differences in fruit fly behavior: Saltz lab, Rice University

[sue_bertram]

I am looking for graduate students to join my lab!  Work in the lab focuses on understanding genetic variation in social behavior and the maintenance of genetic variation in behavior.  I am particularly interested in how genotypic differences in behavior influence group formation, and the behavioral effects of social experience, as well as the genetic mechanisms underlying natural variation in any behavioral process.  We study these questions in fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster.  More information about the lab can be found at saltzlab.wordpress.com.

Graduate students can apply to the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) program or the Biochemistry and Cell Biology (BCB) program in the BioSciences Department at Rice University.  More information at biosciences.rice.edu.
