We're recruiting graduate students to the Delmore Lab at Columbia University! We're broadly interested in behavior, speciation, and genomics. We use hybrid zones between songbirds as our inspiration, and integrate many techniques into our work (e.g., animal tracking, next-generation sequencing, neurobiology, and museum collections). We are especially excited to have someone delve into the world of structural variants; we have been studying a hybrid zone between two subspecies of Swainson's thrushes for over a decade now and it looks like structural variants could be controlling variation in the migratory behavior of these birds. We already have the genomic data needed for this project so an interested student could get their hands dirty right away! More detailed information about our research can be found here: delmorelab.com. Grad students will be part of the vibrant Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology at Columbia University. Please see their website (https://e3b.columbia.edu/) for more information about the department and program. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for 2-3 references by November 15 for full consideration (ked2195@columbia.edu). Anticipated start date of September 2025.
