MS and PhD positions for Fall 2026, Gamba Plant Evolution Lab at UNM

From Diana Gamba: I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting as a new Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of New Mexico in January 2026. I will also be joining the Museum of Southwestern Biology as the Herbarium Curator! Research in my lab will aim to detect general mechanisms of plant evolution in space and time. Using a comparative framework, my lab will investigate the role of life history (i.e., traits associated with mating system, life cycle, physiology, mutualists, enemies) in predicting patterns and mechanisms of adaptation (geographic scale of local adaptation and its genetic architecture, traits and genes under changing selection). I am actively recruiting motivated and creative PhD and MS students to join my research group starting in Fall 2026.
