Welcome to the
Extremophile Evolution Lab
at
The University of Alabama
Dr. Hart’s Extremophile Evolution Lab seeks to understand the origin and maintenance of innovative traits leading to vertebrate extremophile success. Research areas include evolutionary history (phylogenomics), comparative genomics, and sensory biology experiments. Current research focuses on the genetic basis and physical enhancement of the lateral line (mechanosensory) system in North American cavefishes.
We are currently recruiting highly motivated individuals for a Postdoctoral Researcher to start Summer 2024. We do not have any graduate student openings. Please see the Opportunities page for more details. |
