archaea 2) the processes of speciation in microbial populations and 3) the
evolution of gene diversity in prokaryotes.

We primarily use computational methods but an experimental component is
also possible. Students with experience in evolution, microbiology,
metagenomics, and/or bioinformatics are particularly encouraged to apply.
