Graduate research opportunities for fungal ecology and evolution in Hawaii
The Amend lab, in the Botany department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, is recruiting enthusiastic and experienced graduate students for fall 2013. We study the ecology and evolution of fungi, with particular emphasis on those forming diverse communities associated with other organisms on land and in the ocean. To determine both the causes and consequences of these complex assemblages, we use a combination of next-generation sequencing, physiology, greenhouse experimentation and natural history observation within the natural laboratory of our beautiful Islands. Hawaii's isolation, diverse habitats and spectacular evolutionary radiations create an unparalleled setting in which conduct meaningful theoretical and applied research.
Potential applicants are urged to visit Dr. Amend's webpage for more information about our lab and the application process.
