Graduate study
The Galloway lab in the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior program of the Department of Biology at the University of Virginia is currently accepting new graduate students. Graduate students are encouraged to design their own research project in the field of ecological and evolutionary genetics. Most students conduct lab, greenhouse, and/or field work. Students have worked on Campanula americana or developed their own research system.
Most all topics relating to ecological genetics are fair game for study. However, projects related to ongoing and recent work in the lab is encouraged including mating system evolution, speciation, polyploidy, maternal effects, phenology, invasive species, reproductive biology, population differentiation, range limits and adaptation.
Field research is conducted at Mountain Lake Biological Station located in southwest Virginia about 3 hours from UVA. The station has a long history of research in population biology and is the setting for a number ecological and evolutionary studies conducted by people from a range of institutions. In addition, UVA has two other field stations and there are a number of potential study sites near UVA.
If you are interested, please send Laura an e-mail ([email protected]) with your experience and interests. Also, feel free to write any member of the lab for more information! For information on the graduate program in Biology at UVA, see bio.as.virginia.edu
Undergraduate research
A number of undergraduate students conduct independent research in the lab. Most projects are a spin off of other ongoing research in the lab and include research on genetic differentiation between populations, speciation, plant reproductive biology and polyploidy. Check out the current research and if interested drop Laura an email with your background and interests.
