I am currently recruiting graduate students to join my new research
group in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University
of South Carolina. My research program broadly focuses on factors
that facilitate or impede adaptation, with an emphasis on adaptation
within host-parasite interactions and how ecological change impacts
microorganisms. We explore these questions using a combination of
experimental evolution with nematodes, bacteria, and bacteriophages, as
well as observational field ecology. For more information, please visit:
(https://jordanlewisphd.com/).

Graduate students will have flexibility within these systems and
themes. Interested applicants should apply through the Biology PhD program
at the University of South Carolina. The preferred application deadline
is December 1, with the final deadline on January 1. The expected start
date is Fall 2026.

Prior to applying, interested students should email Dr. Lewis
(jalewis@mailbox.sc.edu) to describe their academic background, past
research experiences, current research interests, and motivation for
joining the lab. Please include your C.V. and contact information for
2-3 references.
