Exploring the frontiers of evolution and adaptation at Cornell University.
About Us The Ballinger Lab is based in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University! We study the evolution of complex traits—such as morphology, physiology, and behavior—to understand how and why populations adapt to their local environments. Check out the rest of the website to learn more about who we are and what we do!
We're recruiting!
We believe science works best when it's open, collaborative, fun, and driven by curiosity. Just as we value diversity in our study systems, we are committed to building a welcoming and supportive community where everyone has the opportunity to grow and succeed.
