Graduate position: UColorado_Denver.SeasonalPlasticityAdaptation

The Ragland lab at the University of Colorado, Denver, is recruiting
> a PhD student for Fall 2020. Our group is interested in the process of
> adaptation to variable environments at multiple levels of organization,
> from genes, to physiology, to organismal performance. Current projects
> include the study of rapid adaptation of seasonal timing in insects, the
> overwintering physiology and adaptive potential of bark beetle forest
> pests, and the evolution of adaptive (and maladaptive) plasticity. In
> addition to studies leveraging genomic and transcriptomic approaches,
> we are increasingly incorporating techniques from developmental biology
> to understand the regulation of phenology through developmental rate
> modulation. Students with interests in any of these areas are welcome
> to apply.

> More information about the lab and our current research is available on
