Graduate position: Mississippi State University

The Smith lab at Mississippi State University is recruiting a PhD
student for Fall 2024! We develop methods for studying diversification
using genomic data, and apply these methods to study diversification in
terrestrial snails and slugs. We are looking for students interested
in methods development in population genetics and phylogenetics
and/or studying diversification in terrestrial slugs. Ongoing projects
include the development of machine learning approaches to investigate
species' evolutionary histories and investigations into the evolutionary
histories of invasive slugs. Our lab combines fieldwork, wet lab work,
and computational work, and thus there are varied opportunities depending
on student interests. Additional information on the lab can be found
at https://www.meganlsmith.org/.

Those interested should contact me directly by email
(msm...@biology.msstate.edu) before applying with an attached CV and a
brief description of your research interests. Our graduate admissions
deadlines are flexible but applications before February 1, 2024 are
preferred. Our department no longer requires the GRE. Mississippi State
is located in Starkville, Mississippi, a half-hour drive from excellent
outdoor recreation opportunities in the Noxubee Wildlife Refuge and the
Tombigbee National Forest. We are 1.5 hours from Tuscaloosa, 3 hours
from Memphis, and 4.5 hours from New Orleans. Additional departmental
details can be found at: https://www.biology.msstate.edu/.
