The Couvillon lab at Virginia Tech will have 2 openings (1 Ph.D. and 1 M.S.) in 2020/2021. Both students should start autumn 2020 or winter 2021. These positions are fully funded and are part of a larger, 5 year project that began in 2018 in the Couvillon lab. Students should have a keen interest native bee abundance and diversity and honey bee foraging ecology.
**Expertise and/or interest in native bee taxonomy and identification would be extremely helpful.**
These two students will be co-advised by Dr. Couvillon and by Dr. Megan O'Rourke, Department of Horticulture at VT. We will begin accepting applications in November 2019 for these positions, with a final decision made in early spring 2020.
Lastly, if you are a potential Ph.D. student and would like to apply for your own funding, such as through the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, then please contact me so we can begin discussing your project.
