Graduate program

Category: Graduate positions

The Schultz EvoGenome Lab at Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA, USA) is recruiting a PhD student for Fall 2027, through the Department of Biological Sciences.

I'm looking for a motivated student excited about comparative genomics at chromosome scale and genome evolution across the tree of life, with a focus on animals and their close relatives. The lab spans genome assembly, computational analysis, and (for the curious) molecular/cell biology and marine fieldwork. Students develop their own dissertation projects that dovetail with these themes.

Ideal candidates would have: programming/bioinformatics experience, wet-lab molecular/cell biology, microscopy, or interest in cruise-based fieldwork.
Admitted PhD students receive a competitive 12-month stipend, normally for the duration of the program.

Deadline: January 1, 2027. Please email me before applying to discuss fit and ideas: d...@lehigh.edu
