Ellen Hostert
Graduate positions in Evolutionary Genomics
University of South Florida
The Margres Lab (https://www.margreslab.com/) in the Department of
Integrative Biology at the University of South Florida is looking for highly
motivated graduate students (M.S. and Ph.D.) for an NSF-funded position (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/show-award?AWD_ID=2553796)
to study convergent evolution in venom systems. The project is in collaboration
with Dr. Darin Rokyta at Florida State University (https://drokyta.com). The
project will use a combination of field work, ’omics, and bioinformatic
approaches to answer fundamental questions regarding how complex traits evolve.
Candidates should have a background in genomics and/or bioinformatics and be an
independent learner with a strong work ethic. Familiarity with R, Linux/Unix,
computing clusters, and/or the use of bioinformatic tools is expected.
Candidates should also have strong lab and interpersonal skills allowing them
to work well in a laboratory setting and in a group.
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Margres directly at mar...@usf.edu
and provide (1) CV, (2) statement of interest, and (3) contact information for
three references. The desired start date is Spring/Fall 2027.
