The Van der Burg lab is currently seeking 1-2 applicants for the 2025 application cycle! We work on the evolution, genetics and physiology of seasonal plasticity in butterflies and moths. Current projects include: (1) investigating how seasonal signaling differences are regulated at the molecular level in butterflies, and (2) how winter diapause is regulated at the molecular level in moths. Specific projects will be tailored to individual students. For more information on the specific research projects and recent publications, please visit https://www.vanderburglab.com/research. Currently, two years of funding is available, with additional funding available through TA-ships and grant funding upon succesful application. Clemson University is an R1 research institute located in beautiful upstate South Carolina. Students will join through the department of Biological Sciences on Clemson's main campus. If you are interested or have any questions, please reach out to me directly via email at karinv@clemson.edu. PhD applications are due on December 1st. GRE test scores are not required and there is no application fee.
