To: <ehos...@maine.edu>

The Manthey research group in the Department of Biological Sciences at
Texas Tech University is recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work on funded
genomics projects beginning Fall 2026. Funding for accepted students
includes an ~$30k annual stipend through combined grant and departmental
funding.

We currently have openings for funded projects in two categories: (1)
population genomics in carpenter ants, and (2) genome evolution. Graduate
students would be encouraged to develop their own projects under these
broad themes. For more information about these lines of research and our
lab more generally, please visit: mantheylab.org.

Interested individuals should email a CV/resume to Dr. Joseph Manthey (
jdma...@gmail.com or joseph....@ttu.edu), as well as an informal
statement of how your interests overlap with the research projects in
the lab.

The Department of Biological Sciences has a strong and dynamic group
of scientists with a focus in ecology and evolutionary biology. The
department has strengths in multiple areas of genomics, bioinformatics,
and specialized disciplines of ecology and evolutionary biology. The
departmental website can be found here: http://www.depts.ttu.edu/biology/

~Deadline for applications~ Our department has a deadline
of January 1 for applicants applying to start the
following fall. Please find all application details here:

All qualified applicants are encouraged to contact me with their statement
of interest. While academic scores have a role in admissions, motivation
and enthusiasm for genomics and research experience are highly valued.
