The Nunez Lab invites applications for two PhD student openings (the starting date would be in the Fall of 2025). The students would contribute to two active projects in the field of Drosophila population genomics. The first project is part of an NSF-funded study seeking to characterize rapid seasonal evolution in the invasive insect Drosophila suzukii. The second project will study the neurological basis of temperature-dependent feeding phenotypes as a function of the presence or absence of the seasonal inversion, In(2L)t, in Drosophila melanogaster. Both these projects will capitalize on, and make contributions to, the DEST dataset (https://dest.bio/).
