Positions

Graduate position (M.S.) in phenotypic plasticity and evolution of animal behavior.
Grad Positions
Posted Mar 28
The Beckers’ lab at Murray State University (KY) accepts M.S. student interested in phenotypic plasticity and evolution of animal behavior starting in the fall of 2017. 

Our lab works on male calling and female preference behavior in two of the very few Orthopteran species that display environmentally-induced call plasticity. We use crickets and katydids as model organisms to address our questions. Our research is focused primarily on behavior, but will soon extend in a collaborative effort its focus to the underlying molecular underpinnings responsible for behavioral diversity. We seek an enthusiastic and driven student to join our lab, who has a B.S. in biology, ecology, evolution, or related discipline. Teaching assistantships are available.

To apply or for inquires, email Oliver Beckers: [email protected]
For applications, please attach a letter of application indicating your research interests and career goals and a curriculum vitae including undergraduate GPA and, if available, GRE scores. Review of applications starts immediately and continues until the position is filled. Thank you for your interest.
