I am looking for an enthusiastic student who wants to perform research on
sound communication in adult butterflies or on odor learning in butterfly
larvae, at the organismal and/or molecular levels (e.g., brain circuitry
and single-cell gene expression levels).  This work will be supported
by a Fellowship from the Ministry of Education, Singapore.

The latest from our lab on these two topics can be found here:

learned novel odor preferences to naïve larvae of Bicyclus anynana
butterflies. bioRxiv (doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.12.20.572719)

Applications need to be submitted to our graduate program
(https://www.dbs.nus.edu.sg/education/graduates/) and the deadline is
May 15 for January 2025 entrance.

Students with previous relevant research experience are preferred. The
Department of Biological Sciences is a large unified department with
diverse expertises ranging from ecosystem ecology to structural biology,
and and ideal environment for those who like to do integrative work and
expand their minds.

If interested please visit the lab's web site
(https://lepdata.org/monteiro/) and contact Antonia Monteiro
