BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY OF SAILFIN AND AMAZON MOLLIES

Teaching/Research Assistantship for M. S.

Applications are being sought for one student interested in pursuing an
academic career studying various aspects of the behavior of sailfin and
Amazon mollies starting no later than June 2008.  Amazon mollies, Poecilia
formosa, are a unisexual (all female) species of molly that are essentially
sexual parasites as they require sperm from the closely related bisexual
sailfin molly, P. latipinna but don?t use it to fertilize their eggs.
Conflict exists between male sailfin mollies that prefer to mate with
conspecifics and the Amazon mollies that require matings with these males.
We have three months of summer funding for a Research Assistant to work on
some aspects of this system and can supply Instructional Assistant (teaching
labs) for the fall and spring terms. See
http://www.bio.txstate.edu/~gabor/gabor.htm for details about our lab and
our research interests.

The Department of Biology offers a strong environment in evolutionary
ecology as the basis for training in behavioral ecology.  Students will
benefit from interactions with other faculty interested in evolutionary
questions such as:  Jim Ott (Insect-plant interactions and ecological
genetics), Noland Martin (Plant population genetics), and Chris Nice
(Speciation in insects and phylogeography).  We have both General Biology
and Population and Conservation Biology MS programs available.

GRE (verbal and quantitative) scores of 1000 for MS, and a GPA of 2.75 are
minimum requirements. For more information on admissions see
http://www.bio.txstate.edu/grad/GradGuide.html .  Please also see the
Department of Biology (http://www.bio.txstate.edu/) and Texas State
University (http://www.txstate.edu/) web sites for more information.

To apply for this job please send a statement of interest and a CV/resume of
related research, coursework, GPA, GRE, and any other relevant experience by
February 28, 2008 to Caitlin Gabor by email (gabor at txstate.edu).
Reference letters for top candidates will be solicited at a later date.
Applications will be reviewed as they come in, and may also be reviewed
after the target date if the position has not been filled.
