0 Comments

 
The Muñoz Lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Yale University is seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher. The postdoc will be hired under the auspices of a NSF grant to study the ecophysiology, spatial ecology, and evolution of lungless salamanders. This is a collaborative project with Dr. Eric Riddell (Iowa State University). We are open to different types of backgrounds and interests including, but not limited to: amphibian ecology and evolution, ecophysiology, spatial ecology and biophysical modeling, and comparative phylogenetics. The position is for 2-3 years, with annual reappointment. See full ad, with link for the application, on the "Opportunities" tab on this website.

Whew! This year has been challenging for many reasons, but that is all the more reason to highlight the good moments. The lab has been fortunate enough to have a spate of extremely good luck recently and we figured it was time to have a little Muñoz Lab victory lap:
  • Martha and Eric Riddell (Iowa State) received funding for their NSF proposal to study ecophysiological evolution in woodland salamanders 
  • Martha and Josef Uyeda (Virginia Tech) received a grant from the Templeton foundation to investigate micro- and macroevolutionary approaches in physiology
  • Martha, Luke Frishkoff (UT Arlington) and Luke Mahler (U. Toronto) received an NSF grant to study niche evolution and community assembly in Caribbean anoles
  • Christine Ho, an undergraduate in the lab, received the Yale College Dean's Research Fellowship to continue her research this summer
  • Ed Burress and Martha had a paper accepted for publication in Systematic Biology
  • Meaghan Gade will be joining the lab as a postdoctoral researcher this summer
  • Nathalie Alomar received an NSF GRFP and will be joining the lab as a PhD student in the fall
  • Saúl Domínguez Guerrero was awarded the Yale Endowed Postdoctoral Fellowship and will be joining the lab as a postdoctoral researcher beginning in the fall
  • Henry Camarillo received the prestigious Ford Foundational Graduate Fellowship

We are overwhelmed by the incredible achievements of our lab members and extend a well-deserved congratulations to all!
