The Weiss-Lehman lab at the University of Wyoming is recruiting multiple graduate students (PhD and master’s positions available) to join our group in spring or fall 2027. Research in our lab uses a combination of laboratory microcosms computational models to explore the role of rapid evolution in ecological responses to global change. Current projects focus on testing the eco-evolutionary mechanisms responsible for range limit formation, predicting the evolutionary impact of climate driven range shifts, and applying advanced statistical techniques to better quantify the strength of species interactions. 

We are a highly collaborative group, and lab members are encouraged to work together on group projects while also developing independent research programs based on their own interests. Our lab is committed to creating a research culture in which all lab members feel valued and supported. For more details on the lab and our research, see our website: https://www.weiss-lehmanlab.com/

The positions will be fully funded, including tuition, stipends, and health insurance. Applicants need a bachelor's degree in biology, ecology, evolution, or a related field. Previous experience with quantitative techniques and/or scientific computing languages (e.g., R or Python) is a plus.

To apply, please email Topher Weiss-Lehman (cwiessle@uwyo.edu) with your CV, transcripts (unofficial are fine), a statement of interest, and contact information for 2-3 professional references. 

I will also be at the Ecological Society of America meeting in Salt Lake City, so feel free to reach out to arrange a time to meet and discuss the positions during the meeting.
