OPPORTUNITIES

Postdoctoral positions

From the fall of 2008, our lab will be welcoming postdoctoral researchers with an interest in the ecology and evolution of parasites. A strong preference is given to applicants who are willing to apply for their own funding. We are interested in postdocs with a wide variety of skills (e.g. molecular, experimental, theoretical) to strengthen our research on the evolution of monarch parasites or within-host dynamics of malaria.

Graduate students

As a graduate student in our lab, you will be trained in experimental approaches to disease ecology and evolution. In collaboration with other faculty at the Biology Department, there will are also be opportunities to work on more molecular and theoretical approaches, Potential graduate students should apply for the PBEE graduate program. Our lab will accept PBEE rotation students starting in the spring of 2008.

See the PBEE website for more information:

Undergraduate students

From May 2008 onwards, we will be looking for undergraduate students who are willing to spend at least 10 hours a week in our lab, helping out with our research on monarch butterfly parasites. A strong interest in parasites, ecology and evolution is required. Please contact Jaap for more details.
