Hamilton Lab
Plant Evolutionary and Ecological Genetics
Graduate Students
The Hamilton Lab will be actively recruiting graduate students Fall 2025
If you are interested in pursuing graduate studies please contact me via email to discuss research ideas and opportunities. The Hamilton Lab is a 'muddy boots' lab combining quantitative genetics and genomic tools to understand mechanisms of adaptation through the use of field, greenhouse, and genomic projects. I am particularly interested in students with an evolutionary background who are interested in population and landscape genetic approaches. It will be helpful if you include a copy of your CV and a paragraph outlining your research interests, along with any potential project ideas you have in mind.
Post-doctoral Fellows - recruiting for Spring 2024 and Fall 2025
The Hamilton Lab is seeking a collaborative post-doctoral fellow to join us as part of ongoing research on conservation and landscape genomics of forest trees and prairie plants. We have several new projects underway that will be leveraging common garden experiments, genomewide sequencing, short-read sequencing, phenotypic and environmental data to understand the genetic basis of adaptation within and across forest tree populations and connectivity across grassland systems. We have new and expanding projects on Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), American Chestnut (Castanea dentata), and a range of grassland perennial forbs (Helianthus maximiliani, Helianthus petiolaris, Rudbeckia hirta and Ratibida columnifera to name a few) that will benefit from expertise in evolutionary and ecological genomics.
I am always interested in recruiting talented postdoctoral candidates and welcome inquiries about existing opportunities or potential new opportunities to collaborate on fellowships or grants.
Other Post-doctoral Fellows Resources
NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology
NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship program (for Canadians)
Marie Curie International Research Fellowships
Please email me your CV and I'd be more than happy to discuss opportunities.
