Molecular basis of adaptation in plants; population genomics, evolutionary modeling, phylogenomics, PI at Purdue University, Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne; views are my own and do not represent Purdue
Applications due by Dec. 1
I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

I'm recruiting a postdoc for my group (based in beautiful Eugene, OR). Please get in touch if you're interested, esp if you'd like to chat at #ASHG25!
We'll primarily work at the intersection of statistical and population genetics, and we also have active projects related to the ethical and social implications of human genetics (ELSI). Please get in touch if that's a combination that sounds interesting to you!
