Ph.D. Position on Symbiont-Mediated Detoxification in the Caterpillar Microbiome

An NSF-funded PhD position is available in Dr. Alison Ravenscraft's laboratory (www.ravenscraftlab.com) at the University of Texas at Arlington. Ravenscraft Lab focuses on ecological interactions between insects and their microbial symbionts. The successful applicant will investigate the role of the caterpillar gut microbiota in the plant-insect chemical arms race. Start date is August 2025 (the Fall 2025 semester).

The idea that gut flora may assist insects in breaking down plant defenses has been often proposed, but rarely tested. The graduate student will join a team of collaborative researchers who are working together to ask whether, and how much, the insect gut flora help to detoxify an herbivorous diet. The research will involve a combination of field work, insect rearing experiments in the lab, microbial cultivation, and high-throughput metagenomics. The student will acquire highly desirable skills including microbial culture techniques, use of analytical chemistry equipment (HPLC, LCMS), and the generation and analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets. The position is funded by a prestigious NSF grant, and the student will also benefit from four years of preliminary data and sample collection, including a library of hundreds of insect gut bacterial isolates.

Interested students should fill out this survey by November 20: https://lnkd.in/gW3D3Mhi

Applicants must have completed their bachelors degree or higher in a relevant field (e.g. biology, microbiology, entomology) by summer 2025. Prior experience with insects (especially caterpillars), plants, or microbes is strongly preferred.

Qualifications
🐛 A bachelor's degree or higher in Biology, Ecology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Bioinformatics, or a related field
🐛 Strong work ethic and independence
🐛 Excellent communication and teamwork skills
🐛 Although not required, the preferred candidate will have prior research experience with insects, plants, and/or microbes; programming experience (R or Python); and/or demonstrated scientific writing skills.
