invites applications for graduate students to the lab and the Aquatic Resources graduate programs at Texas State University.  The lab currently has funding to conduct several multi-year studies on the community and ecosystem ecology of spring systems and their biota in semi-arid and arid regions of central and west Texas.  The Nowlin Lab is seeking well-qualified applicants to start in Spring and/or Fall 2019.  The lab is located in the Aquatic Station and has a variety of research resources, including water quality analytical equipment, field instrumentation, scopes, boats, field vehicles, a wet lab, and an outdoor experimental stream facility.  Graduate students will be funded through a combination of research and instructional assistantships.  Interested applicants should contact Dr. Weston Nowlin
(wn11@txstate.edu) by email and submit: (1) a letter of research interests and career goals, (2) a current CV, (3) unofficial undergraduate transcripts and GRE scores (if taken), and (4) a list of references.  A formal application package must also be submitted to the Graduate College at Texas State University by October 30, 2018 or January 15, 2019 for full consideration in the Spring 2018 or Fall 2019 semesters, respectively.

The Gibson lab in the Biology Department at the University of Virginia
is hiring a research technician to help in lab management and research.

The lab studies parasites as drivers of evolutionary change in wild,
artificial, and agricultural systems. To test evolutionary and ecological
hypotheses, we synthesize data from field observations and experimental
manipulations, with guidance from theoretical models and experimental
evolution. Our current study organisms include the free-living nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans and its natural parasites, plus plant-parasitic
nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne and their bacterial parasite Pasteuria
penetrans. The person in this position will be responsible for assisting
with the lab’s research projects by conducting experiments and field
collections, coordinating team members, and collecting and analyzing
data. This person will also manage the day-to-day operations of the lab
by maintaining host populations, training and managing undergraduate
researchers, ensuring compliance with environmental safety standards,
and maintaining protocols, lab supplies, and equipment. Start date:
January 2019.

“Gibson, Amanda Kyle (akg5nq)” <akg5nq@virginia.edu>

We seek a highly motivated graduate student to examine the interactions among native and invasive plant species in the Mojave Desert. Invasive annual species, including red brome (Bromus rubens), Mediteranean grass (Schismus barbatos), and Russian thistle (Salsola spp.) have become prevalent in the Mojave Desert. This has severe consequences for native wildlife habitat, including the desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), as well as rare plant species (ex. white-margined penstemon – Penstemon albomarginatus). The Bureau of Land Management is interested in investigating the effects of rehabilitation treatments (herbicide, seeding, etc.) on native and rare plant species, as well as desert tortoise habitat. Research questions will focus on plant-plant, plant-soil, and plant-animal interactions. Research will be in conjunction with the Las Vegas office of the Bureau of Land Management.

Funding: The competitive stipend for the research assistantship is $19,200 per year for four years, which includes a tuition and fee waiver. PhD candidates are preferred although MS students may be considered.

Qualifications:
*       BS degree in biology, ecology, or related field
*       Field experience and coursework in plant and soil ecology
*       Desire to interact with land managers and help improve land management decisions
*       Previous research experience with good experimental and field skills
*       Strong verbal and written communication skills
*       Evidence of statistical knowledge, laboratory analytic skills, and ability to publish
research results in refereed journals is highly desired.

Personal Qualifications: The candidate should be self-motivated, focused, and able to work independently and as part of a team. You should be capable of driving to remote sites on 4WD roads, hiking several kilometers, withstanding harsh field conditions, and willing to camp in primitive areas with no facilities. Fieldwork will be located outside of Las Vegas, NV.

How to Apply: Please email the following to Beth Newingham at
beth.newingham@ars.usda.gov: (1) your resume or CV (including GRE scores and percentiles); (2) a letter of interest, including research interests, professional goals and prior experience, and (3) contact information for three references.

Further questions can be directed to Dr. Newingham at beth.newingham@ars.usda.gov. The student would be a UNR student although housed with the USDA Agricultural Research Service on campus.

# Graduate Recruiting in Evolution and Ecology at the University of
Kentucky #

The University of Kentucky <http://www.uky.edu> (UK) is recruiting
outstanding graduate students in the fields of evolutionary biology and
ecology. UK is the home of a diverse set of research groups that use
laboratory, field, computational, and mathematical tools to study questions
in population and evolutionary genetics and genomics, ecological genetics,
phylogenetics, evolutionary ecology, physiological ecology, conservation
biology, behavioral ecology, plant ecology, and other fields in evolution
and ecology.
These research groups are housed in a number of departments on campus
including the Departments of Biology and Mathematics in the College of Arts
and Sciences and the Departments of Entomology, Plant and Soil Sciences,
Plant Pathology, and Forestry & Natural Resources in the College of
Agriculture, Food and Environment.

Research groups that support graduate study are listed below. Please
contact individual faculty mentors about opportunities in their group and
their department more broadly. Graduate funding depends on the department
and research group and includes research and teaching assistantships. For
example, the Department of Biology offers teaching assistantship support
with competitive stipends for five years contingent upon progress to a PhD.
