KU Drosophila Biology Graduate Student Recruitment for Fall 2020Drosophila research labs in the departments of Molecular Biosciences
(MB) and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of
Kansas seek talented applicants for graduate admission to begin study in
the Fall of 2020. Our strengths include evolutionary and quantitative
genetics, behavior and development with labs working on specific projects
including genetic conflict, mating behavior, the genetics of complex
traits, the evolution of immunity and limb development.Faculty members:
