Ph.D. Student position in Evolutionary (epi)genomics

Princeton University, NJ
Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology    http://www.princeton.edu/eeb/
vonHoldt Lab    http://www.princeton.edu/~vonholdt/

I am seeking highly motivated graduate students to join my lab, which focuses on a
variety of systems to explore ways in which selection can shape traits, either through
genetic or epigenetic variation. My research includes extensive genetic analysis of
hybrid zones and their contributing parental species, in addition to exploring how
demography impacts epigenetic variation. I'm looking for Ph.D. students that are
quantitatively and computationally skilled to explore similar questions using high
throughput sequencing technologies and cutting edge analytical tools.

The EEB Department at Princeton is an exciting and growing community, consisting of
extensive molecular and field resources with numerous collaborative projects with
a variety of departments (e.g. engineering, environmental sciences, neuroscience).

I ask that applicants must plan to take the GRE exam this fall. All inquiries and
applications are encouraged, though competitive Quantitative GRE scores are preferred.

If you are interested, please send me a CV, a statement of research interests, contact
information for three references, and your GRE scores.
