Subject: Graduate position: UtahStateU.EvolutionClimateChange
MS opportunity, evolutionary responses to climate change
We seek a Master’s student to conduct research on evolutionary responses
to climate change. The student will be co‐advised by Peter Adler and
Zach Gompert at Utah State University. Together we will investigate
changes in the genetic diversity of two perennial grass species in a
long‐term precipitation manipulation experiment in an eastern Idaho
sagebrush steppe. We will compare the experimental responses with
patterns across an elevation and precipitation gradient. Field sampling
will begin in May, 2016. Stipend support will consist of both research
and teaching assistantships. To apply, please email a 1) cover letter,
2) CV, 3) description of research experience, and 4) contact information
for three references to Peter Adler (peter.adler@usu.edu) by Dec. 1.
