ALT A white logo with a black background that says "Extremophile Evolution Lab" in heavy metal stylized font. Above the text is a graphic of an eyeless cavefish floating over a cave, both surrounded by a strand of DNA.
ALT An ad posting for graduate student positions in the Extremophile Evolution Lab. The image text says "Graduate Student Positions Available: The Hart Extremophile Evolution Lab is looking for two graduate student researchers (MS or PhD) to join the lab beginning Fall 2023. Research in the lab focuses on the novel adaptations that allow extremophile organisms to thrive in their environments. We are interested in cave biology, deep-sea biology, sensory biology, evolutionary history, genomics, and behavior. Please see full ad on lab website for more details." Includes QR code for lab website in the bottom right-hand corner. In the middle of the ad is a picture of a cave with a stream running out of it.
ALT An ad posting for a postdoc position in the Extremophile Evolution Lab. Ad states "2-Year Funded Postdoc Position: Sensory Convergence in Caves. The Hart Extremophile Evolution Lab is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher on a 2-year funded project investigating the genetic basis for and phenotypic expressionn of non-visual sensory perception in native North American cavefishes. Project details in full ad on our website. Salar is $52k USD with benefits. Applicants should be familiar with live fish cave, behavioral and/or sensory biology experiments with fish, and/or genome and transcriptome construction experience." Includes QR code for lab website in the bottom right-hand corner. In the middle of the ad is a picture of a cave with a stream running out of it.
