Oportunidad PhD Canada 2011: population and conservation genomics

PhD May 2011
Description
A PhD graduate assistantship is available in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Russello at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBC O) in the area of population and conservation genomics starting May 2011. I am looking for a highly motivated graduate student to join our group studying fine-scale adaptive population divergence in a number of systems centering on vertebrate species of conservation concern. There are opportunities for both laboratory and field-based research, although all projects involve the use of high-throughout DNA-based methodologies.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a strong undergraduate background in biology, and prior research experience with molecular laboratory techniques and bioinformatics is desirable. Individuals with experience and/or interest in SNP discovery using next-generation sequencing are especially encouraged to apply.
Contacts
For more information contact Michael Russello at michael.russello@ubc.ca. Additional information about our Biology graduate program at UBC O can be found here:http://web.ubc.ca/okanagan/biol/graduate.html The University of British Columbia Okanagan is located in Kelowna, BC, an ideal geographic location for many types of biological endeavors, with state-of the-art campus laboratories just minutes away from extensive montane, riparian and limnological habitats.
