PhD Position in Evolutionary Genetics The Armbruster Lab in the Department of Biology at Georgetown University is recruiting a motivated PhD student with interests in Evolutionary Genetics, Physiological Ecology, and/or Adaptation Genomics.The lab takes an integrative approach to studying the genetics, physiology, and ecology of life-history traits in a rapidly evolving invasive species.Current areas of emphasis in the lab include: 1. The genetic and physiological basis of diapause (dormancy) evolution in the invasive mosquito, /Aedes albopictus/. 2. The genetic and physiological basis of reproduction without blood feeding (autogeny) in /Aedes albopictus/. The Department of Biology at Georgetown University is a supportive environment with an emphasis on individualized doctoral training and interdisciplinary research.The Department is housed in a recently completed, state-of-the-art science building. Our location in Washington, DC provides outstanding opportunities for collaboration with a wide variety of local institutions and Washington is a vibrant city with a wide range of cultural and outdoor activities that support an enjoyable work-life balance. Graduate students admitted into the Department of Biology at Georgetown receive 5 years of guaranteed support including stipend, health care and tuition waiver.The current stipend is approx. $43,000 per year and the maximum teaching requirement is four semesters (minimum = two semesters). Interested students should contact Peter Armbruster at paa9@georgetown.edu.Please include in your e-mail: 1) a brief description of your research interests, 2) why you are motivated to pursue a PhD degree, and 3) a copy of your current CV. Students from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
