I am recruiting a graduate student to join my lab as part of the Ph.D.
program at Binghamton University (SUNY). The Anthony Fiumera lab
( https://afiumera.wixsite.com/anthony-fiumera-lab) is focused on
understanding the genetic basis to complex traits and how organisms
respond to environmental stressors. The incoming student will be working
on a recently funded NSF grant studying the effects of nanoplastics
on Daphnia.

Interested students should send an email to afiu...@binghamton.edu that
includes your CV, and why you want to join the lab.

The Department of Biological Sciences at Binghamton University (
https://www.binghamton.edu/biology/) has 24 faculty members and >50
PhD students and encompass a wide range of research programs organized
around three overlapping foci: Global Change Biology, Genetic & Molecular
Interactions, and Infectious Disease. Our strengths in evolution, ecology,
and integrative biology span across all three of these research clusters.

Our program provides a highly interactive and supportive setting for
graduate training. PhD students are funded through a combination of TA
positions, RAs, and fellowships. Students can take advantage of several
interdisciplinary programs on campus, including the NATCHANGE Center,
the Center for Collective Dynamics of Complex Systems, Evolutionary
Studies Program, and Transdisciplinary Areas of Excellence for Data
Science, Sustainable Communities, and Health Sciences. Resources
include molecular core facilities, an ecological research facility
embedded within the University's extensive on campus Nature Preserve (
https://www.binghamton.edu/nature-preserve/), a 4,000+ sq ft research
greenhouse, a living collection of over 1,200 plant species in the E.W.
Heir Greenhouse, and the new acquired Nuthatch Hollow bird sanctuary.

Binghamton University is the top-ranked institution in the SUNY
system and is rated a "Top 10 Public Ivy" by Forbes. BU is included
in the Carnegie Classification system's "very high research activity"
(R1) category. Our 930 acre campus is located in the Southern Tier
of New York, between the Catskills and Finger Lakes, about a 3 hour
drive from NYC. The region features abundant opportunities for outdoor
recreation and a  reasonable cost of living. Instructions for official
applications can be found on the Binghamton University Graduate School
s website - https://www.binghamton.edu/admissions/graduate/. To ensure
full consideration by our department s graduate committee for our Fall
2026 cohort, all application materials should be submitted by December
15, 2025.
