Sarah Kocher is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. She is a Freeman Hrabowski Scholar at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, focusing on Behavioral Evolutionary Genomics. Her research interests lie in the genetic basis of social behaviors, the evolution of social structures among bees, and the impact of environmental factors on social evolution. Kocher's notable publications explore various aspects of social polymorphism in halictid bees, the risk-return tradeoff in solitary versus eusocial reproduction, and the transitions of social complexity along altitudinal gradients. She has significantly contributed to understanding how social evolution is influenced by ecological parameters and genome variations.
