The Mandeville Lab at Northern Michigan University is recruiting a MS
student to work on the evolutionary genomics of freshwater fish (start
date fall 2024).

Research in our lab group focuses on understanding how evolutionary
processes shape freshwater biodiversity, and what these patterns
mean for the conservation of native fish. Specific focus areas
include hybridization, effects of anthropogenic disturbance,
population connectivity, and the evolution of fish sex determination
mechanisms. Depending on the interests of the successful candidate,
there are several different projects on Northern Michigan freshwater
fish that may be available. On- going and planned projects include
work on evolution of hybrid unisexual dace lineages, leuciscid minnow
hybridization or demography in response to anthropogenic change, and
genetic diversity or population connectivity of lake whitefish.

Applicants with strong interests in evolution, fish biology,
ecology, genetics, conservation, or related fields are encouraged to
apply. Desired qualifications include the ability to balance working
independently and collaboratively, excellent work habits, and strong
writing skills. Projects will involve working with high resolution
genomic data that requires computational approaches and high performance
computing. No prior computational experience is required, but applicants
must be willing to learn and excited about building their computational
skills. The Mandeville Lab aims to promote equity, diversity, and
inclusion in the sciences, and encourages applications from students
who are members of historically excluded or marginalized groups.

To apply informally, please send a letter of interest, CV, transcript
(unofficial is fine), and contact information for three references
to Dr. Liz Mandeville, lman...@nmu.edu. Review of applications will
begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is identified
(official admissions procedures to follow). All applications received
by January 5, 2024 will receive full consideration.
