About this position

Louisiana State University is inviting inquiries for PhD fellowship nominations in clouded leopard genomics research within the School of Renewable Natural Resources. The project focuses on conservation genomics, specifically building a genetic pedigree to support a sustainable zoo-housed population of clouded leopards. This is a strong fit for students interested in wildlife genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and conservation biology.

The opportunity is tied to two competitive LSU Graduate School fellowships: the Huel D. Perkins Fellowship and the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) Fellowship. These are nomination-based awards, meaning candidates may not apply directly; the department must nominate applicants for consideration. The post notes that the School of Renewable Natural Resources may nominate up to two candidates.

Research will be conducted under Dr. Sabrina Taylor at Louisiana State University, in collaboration with Dr. Jilian Fazio, Director of the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo and US Species Survival Plan Coordinator for clouded leopards. The work emphasizes genetic analyses, ideally including whole genome analyses, and collaborative research in conservation genomics.

Eligibility highlights include a strong academic record, a bachelor’s degree, at least one year of experience, experience with genetic analyses and bioinformatics, excellent writing and organizational skills, and the ability to work in a collaborative group. The fellowships require applicants to be U.S. citizens (Perkins, SREB) or U.S. permanent residents (SREB).

Funding information in the post includes a salary/stipend of $25,000 per year. The application deadline is 2026-12-15. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Sabrina Taylor by email with a cover letter, CV, and three references (including phone numbers and/or email addresses).
