Phd position in the US

[sergé]

Hi all,

PhD positions are now available in my lab as part of several NSF funded
projects examining rates of morphological evolution of complex traits
(shape) in salamanders and scallops. The broad goals of these projects
are to investigate the tempo and mode of macroevolution of complex
traits, to develop analytical approaches to identify patterns of
evolution of shape in a phylogenetic context, and to empirically
evaluate such patterns in several groups of animals (salamanders and
scallops).

Prospective graduate students interested in geometric morphometrics,
macroevolution, and evolutionary theory are encouraged to apply.
Successful applicants may develop an independent research project within
these areas, or one that complements or extends other research in the
lab. For more information about the research in our lab please visit our

Interested candidates should contact Dr. Dean Adams at dcadamsATiastate.edu.
