Graduate opportunity in fungal / mammal co-evolution
Jake Esselstyn (http://www.museum.lsu.edu/esselstyn/) and Vinson Doyle
(http://www.lsu.edu/agriculture/plant/about/faculty-staff/doyle.php) at
Louisiana State University are seeking a graduate student to investigate
patterns and processes of co-evolution between mammalian hosts and their
associated lung fungi. We encourage prospective candidates with interests
in fungal or mammal systematics, co-evolution, emerging infectious
diseases, and molecular phylogenetics to contact us.
The successful applicant would be enrolled in the Department of Biological
Sciences (http://www.lsu.edu/science/biosci/), with likely office space
in the Museum of Natural Science (http://www.lsu.edu/mns/). LSU is home
to a large, interactive community of evolutionary biologists and is an
excellent destination for graduate studies in these fields.
Please contact us for further details:
