Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship in genomics applied to determine sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) adaptations to arid environments, Boise State University, Idaho, USA
Ph.D. Assistantship in Plant Genomics-Boise State University
Ph.D. Assistantship- Plant Genomics, Boise State University, Idaho, USA
GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP (Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior) - at Boise State University. A position is available for a Ph.D. student to use genetics to predict resistance of plants to vertebrate herbivores in arid and arctic ecosystems.
Ph.D. Assistantship- Plant Genomics, Boise State University
A position is available for a Ph.D. student to investigate the impact of abiotic and biotic factors on the diversification of flowering plants by using the species-rich and ecologically important genus Piper as a model. This research will focus on three evolutionary forces: i) climate, i) pollination (a mutualistic process benefiting both the plant and its partner) and iii) plants' chemical defense (an antagonistic process developed to counteract insect herbivory).
Ph.D. Assistantship- Plant Systematics, Boise State University
A position is available for a Ph.D. student to study the phylogenetics and systematics of Piper section Enckea (Piperaceae). The section comprises ~60 species from the Amazon to Mexico and the Caribbean Islands, consisting of shrubs to small trees. This project will investigate the molecular phylogenetic relationships of one of the earlier branching lineages in the genus using a combination of next generation sequencing data, morphology, and biogeography.
Ph.D. Assistantship in Comparative Phylogenomics-Boise State University
GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIP (Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior) - at Boise State University. A position is available for a motivated Ph.D. student to study the origin of genomic adaptations enabling plants to perform photosynthesis during periods of past aridification.
