Postdocs: I currently have two years of funding for a postdoctoral researcher at Florida International University. The postdoc will lead research projects and will have the opportunity to develop independent research within the major research themes in the Cox laboratory. This position will start in the summer or Fall of 2021, but I am open to earlier starting dates. If you are interested in working in the lab, please contact me by email (ccox@fiu.edu) with your CV and brief (~1 paragraph) statement of research experience and interests. Review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled, but applicants are encouraged to contact me by November 30th, 2020.
We study the evolution of diversity in nature. Our research at Florida International University integrates evolutionary biology, physiology, transcriptomics, and genomics to understand both the evolution and function of phenotypic and genetic variation at different levels of biological organization – between sexes, within species, and among species. We study this diversity in amazing ecosystems from the subtropics of south Florida to lowland tropical rainforest in central Panama and the arid highlands of Mexico and the American southwest. While current research in our lab generally centers around reptile and amphibian systems, I also study other animals and am open to exciting project ideas involving other organisms. Please visit the Cox laboratory website (www.coxevolab.org) for more information.
Florida International University is located in Miami, which is a great place to live and work. South Florida is a subtropical paradise with warm summers and mild (almost nonexistent) winters. Miami is only minutes away from two national parks (Biscayne National Park and Everglades National Park), countless beaches, and the Florida Keys. Miami is also a vibrant and culturally diverse city, with the accompanying access to great dining and other recreational opportunities. Finally, south Florida is an amazing place to study reptiles, amphibians, and other animals, with diverse native wildlife and dozens of abundant invasive species.
We are strongly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion by creating an environment where scientists of all backgrounds are empowered to conduct great science. In particular, we acknowledge that science has systematically disadvantaged women, LGBTQ people, and Latinos/Latinas, Black, Indigenous, and other non-Black People of Color. We seek to contribute to rectifying this injustice through training, dialogue, and support of initiatives that will to make science more just for everyone. You are encouraged to apply if these same values are also important to you.
Graduate Students: Are you interested in studying the physiology, ecology, and evolution of awesome animals? Do you like exciting fieldwork in amazing places? If so, consider joining the Cox Laboratory of Integrative Evolutionary Physiology at Florida International University in Miami, Florida.
There are currently opportunities forPhD students in the Cox laboratory at Florida International University. These positions will be supported by a combination of research and teaching assistantships. Florida International University has a great PhD program in Biology, with excellent support for field research.

FIU Undergraduate Students: Do you want hands-on experience learning about biology? In our lab, you can work with animals in their natural habitat and the lab, gain experience with a variety of laboratory techniques, and even develop independent research projects. Independent research projects are generally limited to students that are within a couple of years of graduation. If you are interested, please contact me.
