The Smith lab in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

(EBIO) at the University of Colorado Boulder is recruiting a

Ph.D. student to work on an NSF-funded project on flower color

evolution in the Petunieae, a clade of 140 species, including the

ornamental petunias. This project incorporates phylogenetics,

transcriptomics, and pigment biochemistry in order to test the role

of regulatory evolution in color diversity at a phylogenetic scale. A

more detailed description of this project is available on our website:

Interested students should contact Dr. Smith by email

(Stacey.D.Smith@colorado.edu) with a description of their research

interests and a CV including relevant experience, GPA, GRE scores,

and the names of three references.
