The Sewall lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech is recruiting up to 2 PhD students. Research in the lab examines the effects of the ecological and social environment on brain function, communication and social behavior in songbirds. The successful applicant(s) will conduct field and captive research on songbird communication and cognition, as well as histology, immunohistochemistry and molecular assays to examine makers of neural plasticity. Being accepted into the PhD program at Virginia Tech and Dr. Sewall’s lab will provide extensive training in animal behavior, neurobiology and ecology by the PI, lab members, and a group of exceptional researchers in organismal biology (including Drs. Joel McGlothlin, Ignacio Moore, Dana Hawley and Bill Hopkins). Graduate students at Virginia Tech are provided a stipend and tuition coverage in exchange for service as a teaching or research assistant.
To Apply: Send a cover letter summarizing your prior experience, professional goals, and research interests, as well as a CV and contact information for at least three academic references to Kendra Sewall (kse...@vt.edu). The application deadline is December 31st.
