I’m delighted to finally, officially announce that the lab has received funding from the National Science Foundation — for a big, collaborative endeavor we’ve been calling the Joshua Tree Genome Project. Collaborative grants to us here at CSUN and to Chris Smith’s lab at Willamette University, with subawards to collaborators at USGS and the Universities of…
For years at the Evolution meetings there’s been a meetup of lesbian, gay, bi, and trans attendees — going back at least to the 90s. It’s called “Outgroup”, for the obvious phylogenetic double-entendre, and it’s operated largely unofficially. Someone would post a time and location during the meetings, over a lunch break or at a…
I’m excited to be organizing a spotlight session for the American Society of Naturalists at this year’s Evolution 2019 meeting in Providence, and I have a talk slot available for a graduate student working on mutualistic species interactions. The session title will be “Origins, stability, and benefits of interspecific cooperation in a changing world”. I’m…
My lab at California State University, Northridge, is open for Master’s students enrolling for the 2018-19 school year. I’m building a research program focused on the coevolution of interacting species, particularly how mutualists shape each others’ genomic diversity, and how interactions between species can help or hinder adaptation to abiotic factors like climate. You should…
The latest episode of the Slightly Evolved podcast features an interview with me — starting from host Toby Fountain’s traditional question about his guests’ first published research paper, it ends up being a walk through most of my career, from how I got to graduate school to my plans for the new lab here at…
In addition to recruiting graduate students, the Yoder Lab is open to postdoctoral researchers interested in coevolution and ecological genomics. I don’t currently have funding designated to support postdocs, but I’m eager to work with prospective postdoctoral researchers to apply for independent funding through one of the opportunities listed below, or another of your choosing.
The Yoder Lab at California State University Northridge seeks exceptional, motivated candidates for the M.S. program in Biology. The lab opens in fall 2017 to study the coevolution of interacting species, particularly how mutualists shape each others’ genomic diversity, and how interactions between species can help or hinder adaptation to abiotic factors like climate. Our…
Cross-posted from Denim and Tweed. I’m very excited to announce that I’ve accepted a faculty position with the Department of Biology at California State University Northridge, starting this coming fall. CSUN is about as close as possible to the ideal place to do the kind of science and scholarship I want to do — a…
The Yoder lab opens soon. Watch this page for news.
