Description The Wilder Lab in the Department of Biology at Oklahoma State University is seeking a highly motivated MS or PhD student to join a funded research project on the nutritional ecology of sexual cannibalism in spiders.

Ideal candidates will have prior experience working with arthropods and a record of publishing peer-reviewed articles.

The position offers a flexible start date in January, May, or August 2026. The stipend is a combination of research and teaching assistantships with some summer support available.
