PhD opportunity in Evolutionary Ecology

The Ashman and Turcotte labs at the University of Pittsburgh are looking
to co-advise a PhD student interested in ecological and evolutionary
impacts of whole genome duplication (polyploidy). The student will utilize
our rapidly reproducing experimental duckweed system to test various
hypotheses concerning the benefits and limitations of this widespread and
important major evolutionary change. Various research foci are possible
including species or environmental interactions. Additional opportunities
exist for involvement in genomic and gene expression studies.

Please visit our lab webpages for more information:

The Department of Biological Sciences is a dynamic and growing team of
enthusiastic researchers and educators.  All graduate students in the
department are provided with a competitive stipend and benefits for
5 years through a combination of fellowships, TAships, and research
assistantships.

Prospective students should email us at: ti...@pitt.edu and
