Ph.D. opportunity in sensory ecology (USA)



Applications are invited for a PhD position in the lab of Hannah
ter Hofstede, Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College
(http://www.dartmouth.edu/~terhofstede). My lab considers predator-prey
interactions in the acoustic world of bats and their insect prey. Studies
are interdisciplinary and combine acoustic, neurophysiological, behavioral
and ecological data collected in the lab and field. The PhD student will
develop original research investigating the role of auditory physiology
in locating mates and avoiding predators in katydids (Insecta: Orthoptera,
Tettigoniidae).

The Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
at Dartmouth College has a core group of enthusiastic faculty,
graduate students and post-docs who provide an exciting environment
in which to pursue a Ph.D. (http://dartmouth.edu/biology). Generous
support is available in the form of fellowships, health care, and
discretionary funds for research and travel. Detailed information
about the program, and access to online applications, are available at
http://dartmouth.edu/biology/graduate/ecology-and-evolutionary-biology.
Applications will be considered starting December 1st.

Interested individuals should contact Hannah ter Hofstede directly by
email before applying (Hannah.ter.hofstede@dartmouth.edu).  Please send
your CV, contact information for 2 references, and a description of your
