Undergraduates interested in gaining research experience in evolutionary biology are invited to apply for a summer National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) position available this summer in the lab of Emily Moriarty Lemmon at Florida State University. The summer REU student will help conduct genetic analyses of population structure in chorus frogs (Pseudacris) to test whether behavioral changes in phenotype correlate with population and landscape level genetic changes. The REU student will learn molecular techniques for working with DNA (traditional genotyping and highthroughput sequencing) and bioinformatic techniques for analyzing sequence data. Candidates should have an interest in evolutionary genetics and learning statistical methods for analyzing genetic data. Compensation will be $480 per week (corresponding to $12.00/hr; for approximately 8 hours/day; 5 days/week) for a total of 8 weeks and will also include a $1,200 stipend for housing and $1,208 for subsistence during the 8 week period. For students planning on graduate school, this experience would look great on your resume.
