Hello!

I'm looking for one or two grad students and a post-doc to join my lab in
the next year (see attached docs). We're working on comparative
phylogenomics of specialized plant-pollination interactions (*Calceolaria* and
oil-bees!), and on the effect of the landscape on the ecological and
evolutionary dynamics of pollination interactions in fragmented landscapes
(using the US E coast serpentine prairies as a model). We use molecular,
ecological, and spatial approaches to investigate all these questions, and
we try to complement and integrate all the approaches in all our projects.
I'm looking for grad students to work on these two projects, and a post-doc
to work on *Calceolaria* phylogenomics (and phylogeography, if interested).

The lab <http://anahiespindola.github.io/> is at the U. of Maryland
Entomology. I can't overstate how awesome this Department setting is. Along
with the very welcoming and intellectually motivating atmosphere, UMD
Entomology has a lot of connections with other Departments within UMD, but
also with many important local and national organizations, such as the
Smithsonian, many DC-metro Universities, the USDA labs, the USGS bee lab,
the National Parks Service, etc. Our lab has also a strong national and
international network of collaborators, and we're strong believers in the
importance of promoting and integrating cultural, professional, biological
and methodological diversity.

If you know of anybody interested in the topics we research, don't hesitate
to put them in touch with me!

Also, I would really appreciate it if you could circulate this message
within your networks.

Thanks!!

Anahi
