Subject: Graduate position: VirginiaTech.MolecularEvolution
The McGlothlin lab at Virginia Tech is looking for an enthusiastic and
motivated Ph.D. student, starting fall 2016, to work on an NSF-funded
project on the evolution of voltage-gated sodium channels. This project
examines the molecular evolution of the Nav family in birds and reptiles in
an attempt to understand the origin of predators that consume toxic prey.
The student will be encouraged to develop an independent dissertation
project that may build on or depart from the funded work.
The McGlothlin lab is part of the growing Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior
and Integrative Organismal Biology groups in Virginia Tech's Department of
Biological Sciences. Interested students should contact Dr. Joel McGlothlin
(joelmcg@vt.edu), providing a description of your research interests and
experience and a CV or resume that includes GPA, GRE scores, and contact
information for 3 references. For full consideration, applications to the
department should be received by December 31, 2015.
