Subject: Graduate position: UIllinois.EvolutionaryGenomicsInformatics
The Catchen and Fuller labs at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign are looking to recruit Ph.D. students interested in
evolutionary and comparative genomics of teleost fishes. Projects in the
two labs are focused on population genomics, comparative genomics, and
the genomic architecture of speciation. Projects related to these to
topics may include a computational focus, including techniques such as
genome assembly, genetic map construction, genotype-by-sequencing
analysis, and programming in scripting or low-level languages. The
University of Illinois is home to a strong collection of faculty
researching ecology and evolution in the Department of Animal Biology
and the School of Integrative Biology. Students have the option of
applying directly to the department of Animal Biology, or the
interdisciplinary Program in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation
Biology (PEEC, http:// https://sib.illinois.edu/peec/). Champaign and
Urbana are great college towns close to three major cities including
Chicago. For more information on the Catchen lab please visit the lab
website: http://catchenlab.life.illinois.edu; and for the Fuller lab:
http://www.life.illinois.edu/fuller/. Interested students are encouraged
to contact Dr. Catchen (jcatchen@illinois.edu) or Dr. Fuller
(fuller@life.illinois.edu). Please include a brief description of your
research interests and a CV in your email. Note that the target date for
applications for Fall 2016 admission is January 1st, 2016.
