MS opportunity, evolutionary responses to climate change

MS opportunity, evolutionary responses to climate change

We seek a Masters student to conduct research on evolutionary responses 
to climate change. The  student will be coadvised by Peter Adler and 
Zach Gompert at Utah State University. Together we will  investigate 
changes in the genetic diversity of two perennial grass species in a 
longterm precipitation  manipulation experiment in an eastern Idaho 
sagebrush steppe. We will compare the experimental  responses with 
patterns across an elevation and precipitation gradient. Field sampling 
will begin in May,  2016. Stipend support will consist of both research 
and teaching assistantships. To apply, please email a  1) cover letter, 
2) CV, 3) description of research experience, and 4) contact information 
for three  references to Peter Adler (peter.adler@usu.edu) by Dec. 1.
