Subject: Graduate position:OkStateUniv.FunctionalMorphologyMacroevolution
I’m recruiting a Ph.D. (and possibly a Master's student) to join my lab in the fall of 2016 at Oklahoma State University. I am looking for an independent, motivated student to study the evolution of phenotypic diversity in anurans (frogs and toads). There are several potential options for projects focused on the major research areas in my lab (see below). Other related projects are possible, including working with other types of amphibians and reptiles, as Oklahoma is a fantastic place to work with them. Please see my lab's website for more information: www.dsmoen.com
Some potential research topics include:
- The relationship between ecology, morphology, and functional performance
- The role of evolutionary convergence in-situ versus biogeographic dispersal in explaining patterns of diversity across communities
- The effects of modularity and integration on macroevolutionary patterns of diversity in clades
- The importance of deep evolutionary history on directing phenotypic evolution
If interested, please send me an introductory email that includes your research interests (including why you are specifically interested in working on the above topics), research experience, CV, GPA and GRE scores, long-term career plans, and complete contact information for 3 references. Completed applications need to be submitted to OSU by 1 February 2016 to receive full consideration, so please contact me far in advance of this deadline.
