Subject: Graduate position:William and Mary.Plant Evolutionary Genomics
Graduate position: Plant Evolutionary Genomics
The Puzey lab at the College of William and Mary is recruiting graduate students (M.S) interested exploring the evolutionary and genomic consequences of whole genome duplication in plants (http://puzeylab.weebly.com). Positions for MS program start Fall 2016. Please contact Josh Puzey (jrpuzey@wm.edu<mailto:jrpuzey@wm.edu>) for more information.
The successful applicant will be passionate about evolution, interested in plants, and keen to use genomic techniques to address their research questions. Previous experience with a computer language and comfort with quantitative analyses is preferred. Students working the Puzey lab get exposure to a wide range of analyses and techniques including next-generation sequencing (DNA, RNA, smRNA), population genomic analyses, and molecular ecology.
Details about the M.S. program in Biology at W&M can be found here (http://www.wm.edu/as/biology/graduate/). Full-time students are supported by teaching assistantships and full tuition waivers. Most students complete their master's degree in two years and go on to pursue either a Ph.D. or M.D. degree. Our program also provides the training required to enter technical positions in industry and government. Recent grads are pursuing Ph.D.s at Duke, UC Davis, Johns Hopkins, and University of Toronto; others are following career paths in biotech, pharmaceuticals, resource management, and environmental consulting.
