Subject: Graduate position: UMontana.MicrobialEvolution
The Miller lab in the Division of Biological Sciences at The University of Montana in Missoula is recruiting graduate students interested in microbial evolution for Fall 2016.
The lab takes an integrative approach combining genomics, genetics and physiology to understand the origins, maintenance and distribution of microbial diversity, with an emphasis on microorganisms living in extreme environments. Current research projects are focused on adaptation to novel environments and the mechanisms of population divergence along environmental gradients. More information on the Miller lab can be found aths.umt.edu/dbs/labs/miller.
The Division of Biological Sciences is home to a strong and highly interactive faculty with research interests in evolution and ecology and includes graduate programs in Organismal Biology and Ecology (OBE) and Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology (CMMB). Nestled in the heart of the Northern Rockies, Missoula is great college town surrounded by open space with year-round outdoor opportunities.
Please contact Scott Miller (scott.miller@umontana.edu) for more information. Please include a CV and a brief description of your research interests.
