Education & Professional History

Carleton College, BA; University of Colorado-Boulder, PhD

Amanda Hund  is an integrative evolutionary ecologist that studies host-parasite interactions. She is currently starting a new project to understand how host ecology, behavior, and immunology shape the transmission of a complex-life cycle parasite through space and time. This involves working with stickleback fish and common loons on Vancouver Island. She teaches part of Introductory Biology and Ecology and Evolution of Disease.


At Carleton since 2022.
