Subject: Graduate position: CentralMichigan.CichlidEvolutionBehavior
Graduate student (Ph.D. and Master's) positions available in Dr. Dijkstra's lab at Central Michigan University starting Fall 2016.
Are you interested in animal behavior and physiology? We are seeking students to join us in studying the evolution of behavioral and color diversity in East African cichlids. Our current projects combine behavioral experiments, molecular biology and endocrinology to address the physiological basis of color signaling in cichlid fish. We are seeking enthusiastic scientists with an outstanding academic record and experience at the molecular bench. More information about our research is available at: https://www.cmich.edu/colleges/cst/biology/Pages/Peter-D.-Dijkstra.aspx
Information about the Master of Science program in Biology at CMU is available at:http://www.cst.cmich.edu/units/bio/grad.htm. For more information about the Ph.D. program in Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, please go to: https://www.cmich.edu/colleges/cst/EES/Pages/Apply-to-the-EES-Program.aspx. The biology department will be moving to a new building next year with superb facilities to study aquatic organisms: https://www.cmich.edu/colleges/cst/biosciences_building/Pages/default.aspx
Student funding is available in the form of research and/or teaching assistantships. In addition, tuition waivers are available.
