Graduate Student Position in Behavioral Ecology: Colorado State University
Research Opportunities Posted by Lisa Angeloni on 2008 January 28 (Monday) : 12:27 PM
from the dept.
A graduate student position is available in the lab of Lisa Angeloni in the Biology Department at Colorado State University. Motivated students who are interested in working on mating behavior and sexual selection in Trinidadian guppies are encouraged to apply.
Guppy populations experience different levels of predation pressure in their natural habitats, which affects male color patterns, life history strategies and female preferences for male traits. In collaboration with Dr. Cameron Ghalambor, we will investigate how reproductive behavior depends on several factors, including the history of predation in the natural population, the presence of predator cues during development and the presence of predator cues during mating. There are many possible questions to ask with this system, and the graduate student will have the opportunity to determine the scope of the project.

Graduate students will have the opportunity to participate in the interdisciplinary Graduate Degree Program in Ecology at CSU. Please send a statement of interest and a CV/resume including GPA and GRE scores, research experience and research interests by February 11, 2008 to Lisa Angeloni by e-mail (angeloni@lamar.colostate.edu). Reference letters for top candidates will be solicited at a later date. Applications will be reviewed as they come in, and may also be reviewed after the target date if the position has not been filled.
