MS or PhD position in Termite Behavior and Evolution

The Mizumoto lab (mizumoto-lab.com) at the Department
of Entomology & Plant Pathology at Auburn University
(https://agriculture.auburn.edu/research/enpp/) is looking for a
Master's or Ph.D. student. Graduate students are fully funded through
research assistantships and conduct research, as advised by Dr. Nobuaki
Mizumoto, on the topic relating to the evolutionary process of termite
collective behavior. The primary project is the evolution of nest building
in termites, but it can be adjustable if it is aligned with our research
interests (see publications and research on the lab website). The research
will combine field work, behavioral observations, video tracking, and
computational data analysis. Graduate students are expected to present
their research at national and international conferences, write papers
in international peer-reviewed journals, and physically participate in
laboratory and departmental events.

For consideration, please send (1) a CV and (2) a cover letter addressing
research interests and research experience (if any). Prior experiences
with any behavioral studies, social insects, or code writing are not
necessary, but please describe them if you have.
