The Smith Lab at Utah State University is recruiting graduate students interested in pursuing an MS or PhD. Research in the lab focuses on understanding the regulation and role of phenotypic plasticity in societies, using ant caste determination as a focal system. Past projects run the gamut from field experiments to comparative genomics. Papers on past projects can be found HERE. Students would be funded using a combination of research and teaching assistantships. Interested students should contact Chris Smith (c.r.smith@usu.edu) to discuss interests before applying. The Smith Lab is dedicated to the principle of respecting all persons and providing an environment where people and science can thrive.
