PhD position: Genomic basis of honeybee foraging and decision-making Application deadline: 1st April 2018 We invite applications for a 3-year DFG (German Research Foundation) funded PhD position (65% TVL E13) at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany. We are looking for a highly motivated student to study the genomic basis of honeybee foraging behaviour. Honeybees exhibit sophisticated communication […]
The Gibson lab in the Department of Biology at Georgia Southern University (GSU) is looking for a MS student in insect evolutionary genetics to begin Fall 2018. The research focus of the lab is on the genetic/genomic basis of traits in Hymenopteran insects, particularly metabolic and mitochondrial physiology. Current projects/systems in the lab include (1) […]
Contexte du stage : De nombreuses études conduites en France et à l’étranger montrent que les cires sur lesquelles vivent les colonies d’abeilles domestiques contiennent des résidus de pesticides. Dans le cadre des travaux de l’UMT PrADE réalisés pour l’observatoire national des résidus de pesticides dans les matrices apicoles, les analyses de cires réalisées sur […]

Ce stage s’inscrit dans une action conduite en collaboration entre l’INRA du Magneraud et le CNRS de Chizé. Aujourd’hui le dispositif de monitoring ECOBEE lancé depuis 2008 déploie une cinquantaine de colonies d’abeilles par an sur l’ensemble de la Zone Atelier Plaine & Val de Sèvre. Différents programmes impliquant plusieurs équipes, analysent les effets des […]

The Kapheim Lab at Utah State University is recruiting a Ph.D. student for Fall 2018 to study maternal effects in solitary bees, in collaboration with Dr. Theresa Pitts-Singer at the USDA-ARS Pollinating Insects Research Unit. The primary objective of the project is to investigate the molecular mechanisms and phenotypic consequences of trans-generational effects. Graduate students […]
Declining bee populations have been widely covered in the news. It is a pressing issue worldwide as one in three bites of food that we eat relies on bee pollination. A key factor that affects bees is increasing urban development as people flock to cities. As cities develop, they sprawl into their surroundings, fragmenting animal […]
