PhD opportunities in Plant Ecological Genetics and Genomics

Are you interested in the genetic and physiological mechanisms of adaptation, the costs of plasticity, understanding potential maladaptive responses to climate change, and/or the fitness effects of non-additive genetic architecture?

The Oakley lab in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Purdue University is recruiting a PhD student for Fall 2025 for one of two NSF funded projects in plant ecological genetics and genomics. One project is connecting the genotype-phenotype-fitness map for cold acclimation, an adaptive plastic response in seasonally freezing environments. Cold acclimation is common in plants throughout the temperate zones and involves dramatic metabolic and physiological changes in response to cool autumn temperatures which increase winter freezing tolerance. It is energetically costly, particularly in cool but non-freezing environments, and climate change may exacerbate the negative fitness consequences of this cost. The other project is examining the fitness consequences of non-additive genetic architecture (dominance and epistasis) and linkage on local adaptation and maladaptation. There are many opportunities for new directions building off the main themes of these projects including extension of work on Arabidopsis to other systems including Populus and Plantago. There is a vibrant community of interdisciplinary plant biologists (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fag.purdue.edu%2Fcpb%2Ffaculty%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmid14018%40uconn.mail.onmicrosoft.com%7C63a425b959264864781608dce2c4aec9%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638634581609384494%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=qCikIvveKYJUgxKm6unB4W6leJqWMPaENb7rLNrBO9k%3D&reserved=0) at Purdue, providing ample opportunity for interaction and collaboration.

A BS/BA degree in ecology & evolution, genetics, plant biology, or related field is required (by Spring 2025), as is a strong interest in learning to use -omic tools to answer evolutionary questions. No specific skills are required, but some combination of experience in experimental biology, molecular genetics, bioinformatics/quantitative analysis, and plant care is strongly preferred.

If you are interested in applying, please email your CV and a short
(1-2 paragraph) email explaining your interest in graduate school in general, and the lab and project in particular. This should be done prior to applying, ideally no later than 4 weeks prior to the application deadline. Applications are due by Dec. 1st, 2024, do not require the GRE, and you may be able to have the application fee waived through the Big Ten Academic Alliance FreeApp program. This is a direct admit program (no rotations). Students interested in doing rotations may also apply via the interdisciplinary plant science program (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fag.purdue.edu%2Fcpb%2Fapply-now.html&data=05%7C02%7Cmid14018%40uconn.mail.onmicrosoft.com%7C63a425b959264864781608dce2c4aec9%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638634581609402738%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=g%2BsClliLakPWW1NnFTX%2FtkIiLusO92ymLnGcMQByuQc%3D&reserved=0).

The Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (EEOB) at Iowa State University is recruiting doctoral and master’s level graduate students for Fall 2025.

The EEB major at Iowa State is designed for students interested in the composition, structure, and functional processes of ecological systems, and the mechanisms that regulate the pattern and rate of evolutionary change within and among species. Our program provides students with an interdisciplinary education and opportunities to train and conduct research in their area of interest. The EEOB department has a productive and diverse faculty who conduct both theoretical and empirical research in ecology and evolutionary biology. Empirical work is on a broad array of questions and organismal systems, including microbes, plants, vertebrate and invertebrate animals and whole ecosystems.

Iowa State University is a large and vibrant campus, with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability. It is located in Ames, IA, which was ranked #1 best college town by 24/7 Wall St in 2019.

All admitted applicants will be financially supported by a 9- or 12-month graduate assistantship throughout their tenure in the program. To receive priority consideration for competitively awarded fellowships, and to ensure there are no Visa issues for international students, applicants should submit a complete application package by December 15.
Applications can be submitted after these dates for consideration; however, funding opportunities are limited. Application fees may be forgiven for applicants that meet specific guidelines.

Applicants should contact faculty and identify potential advisors before applying. Faculty are more than willing to answer questions about the general program and about their own specific labs and research. A listing of graduate program faculty can be found here:

Professors Sergei Pond and Ananias Escalante at Temple University (Philadelphia, USA) seek to jointly advise a PhD student interested in comparative evolutionary genomics of eukaryotic parasites. If selected and successfully admitted to Temple University, the student will be home at our institute, iGEM (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Figem.temple.edu%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmid14018%40uconn.mail.onmicrosoft.com%7C3ddaa44546bc449aa3aa08dce2a26deb%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638634434476591169%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=DkOG5LqEnNWpfrDCOUyViDlTOLXBB3zOHDxL1gjfIxU%3D&reserved=0). This opportunity offers personal and professional growth, as students are encouraged to interact with others while contributing to our research.

The ideal candidate should show a clear interest in evolutionary biology or bioinformatics. While previous experience with coding (R and Python) and analyzing NGS data (Linux) is desirable, we are more interested in candidates with a strong aptitude for learning analytical tools, with basic formation in evolution and/or statistics at the undergraduate or MSc level, and strong motivation to understand the biology of eukaryotic parasites while interrogating genomic data.

Before applying to Temple, please email Ananias.Escalante@temple.edu a brief statement introducing yourself, a CV/resume, and an unofficial transcript. Motivated students with degrees other than Biological Sciences can also inquire. Students from non-English-speaking countries must show sufficiency in the language (e.g., the TOEFL exam). Students admitted to Temple Ph.D. programs are offered five years of support through TA/RA ships and opportunities to apply for independent fellowships. Temple???s application deadlineis December 15, 2024. We consider students until January; however, late applicants may not be eligible for some scholarships.
