I am recruiting a highly-motivated masters or PhD student to work in my lab in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at The Ohio State University (eeob.osu.edu). The prospective student should be excited to work with fishes and possess enthusiasm for laboratory and/or field work, strong communication skills, and attention to detail. Prior research experience in ecology, evolution, behavior, or ichthyology is preferred, but not required. Start date is August 2027. The position is fully-funded through teaching and research assistantships, with stipend, full tuition waiver, and health insurance. The student will be expected to develop an independent research program that expands or compliments current research in the lab, including the role of developmental and transgenerational plasticity in helping organisms cope with natural and human-induced environmental change. We study marine and freshwater fish (e.g., sticklebacks, mangrove rivulus), with existing field sites in California and Alaska as well as possibly Florida. Interested students are encouraged to view recent publications and visit my website to get a better idea of current work. I welcome applicants from under-represented groups in STEM (including first-generation students) to apply. We are committed to creating a welcoming lab environment that promotes equality and inclusion for everyone regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and other forms of both visible and less visible diversity. To begin the application process, please send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, an unofficial transcript, and contact information for three references to Dr. Jennifer Hellmann (Hellmann.13@osu.edu). Informal review of candidates will begin immediately. Formal applications to the department are due November 15.
