The Odom Lab at University of the Pacific is accepting Master's students
Research in the Odom Lab is integrative. Students can choose from field and lab studies including hormone regulation of seasonal increases in female and male song rate, transcriptomics and gene expression associated with these changes, and phylogenetic comparative studies to look at evolutionary drivers of sexual dimorphism in birdsong.
University of the Pacific offers qualifying graduate students financial support in the form of Graduate Assistantships (GAships). Each GAship includes full tuition remission, employment as a lab teaching assistant (with a nine-month salary), and health insurance. More information about the biology Master's program at Pacific is available here.

Mentoring and undergraduate student researchers
I have had the honor of working with many wonderful student researchers. Their hard work has made a lot of this research possible! If you are a student interested in animal behavior, evolutionary biology, sex differences in behavior, or animal vocal communication and want to talk about a project, please contact me.
