The Lotterhos Lab at Wake Forest University is seeking graduate students interested in the population genomics and ecology of adaptation. Empirical work in the lab mainly focuses on marine systems and marine larval ecology, including fish and invertebrates. We use a combination of field surveys, experiments, modeling, genomics, and bioinformatics to understand local adaptation, population dynamics, and evolutionary processes. We also use theory and simulations to evaluate methods for the analysis of landscape-genomic data. A major area of interest is to understand how evolutionary and ecological processes may promote or constrain adaptation to climate change.
Information on specific projects can be found on my webpages: https://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~klott/research/ http://college.wfu.edu/biology/people/faculty/lotterhos/ Interested students should send me an email ([email protected]) containing a statement of interest, a CV, and contact information for three references. Official applications will be due in January. Wake Forest University in North Carolina welcomes and encourages diversity and seeks applicants with demonstrated success in working with diverse populations. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply.
