*P**h.D. position in Plant Evolutionary Ecology*
Department of Plant and Microbial Biology
North Carolina State University

The Sheth plant evolutionary ecology lab in the Department of Plant and
Microbial Biology <https://cals.ncsu.edu/plant-and-microbial-biology/> at
North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) invites applications for 1-2
Ph.D. students beginning in Fall 2023. We combine field, greenhouse, and
growth chamber experiments, demographic modeling, and quantitative genetics
to examine constraints to adaptation to climate across species geographic
ranges. We strive to foster an inclusive environment where people from all
backgrounds are respected and we especially welcome applicants from groups
that have historically been underrepresented or excluded. We value the
safety of all team members in the lab and field.


Students will be funded through a combination of teaching assistantships
and research assistantships associated with one of two collaborative,
NSF-funded projects examining eco-evolutionary responses to climate change.
Both projects involve large-scale quantitative genetic field experiments
that are latitudinally arrayed: one with the annual legume Chamaecrista
fasciculata in the eastern United States, and the other with the perennial
herb Mimulus cardinalis in the western United States. Please see
www.seemasheth.weebly.com/research for descriptions of both projects.

NCSU and the Research Triangle

NC State’s Department of Plant and Microbial Biology offers a highly-rated
research environment and is situated in a collaborative and scientifically
stimulating atmosphere in the Research Triangle, with both UNC Chapel Hill
and Duke University nearby. There is a vibrant and growing community of
ecologists and evolutionary biologists spread across multiple departments
on campus, including Applied Ecology, Biological Sciences, Entomology and
Plant Pathology, Forestry and Environmental Resources, Soil and Crop
Sciences, and Biochemistry, among others. Raleigh is a lively yet
affordable city with a high standard of living, and its surroundings offer
numerous recreational activities.

To apply

Prospective graduate students should apply to the Plant Biology Graduate
Program. Before submitting a formal application (due January 15), please
send the following information to Dr. Sheth at ssheth3 at ncsu.edu no later
than December 1: 1) CV; and 2) a statement of your academic background and
previous research experience, current research interests, and why you want
to join the lab.
