CfA: Graduate positions in plant genome evolution, York University

Several graduate student positions are available in the laboratory of Stephen I. Wright at York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We study various aspects of plant genome evolution, including transposable element evolution, the population genetics of local adaptation, evolution of base composition, and coevolution between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes.

More information about our research can be found at http://www.yorku. ca/stephenw/ .

Applicants should have a strong background in evolutionary biology and/or molecular biology, and have interests in genomics and evolution. The biology department at York university has diverse strengths in Ecology, Evolution and Genomics, and the lab has state-of-the- art computational and molecular resources.
