A graduate assistantship (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) is available in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Russello at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) in the area of ecological and conservation genetics starting September 2007. I am looking for a highly motivated graduate student to work with me on the study of 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.
Please visit my website for further details:
http://web.ubc. ca/okanagan/ biophgeo/ faculty/mrussell o.html.
Candidates should have a strong undergraduate background in biology, and prior research experience with molecular techniques is desirable but not required. For more information contact Michael Russello at michael.russello@ ubc.ca.
The application deadline for Fall 2007 admission is January 31, 2007, although late applications may also be considered. Some additional information about our Biology graduate program at UBCO: The Biology Graduate Program at the University of British Columbia Okanagan offers research-based M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in a collegial, dynamic setting. Our vibrant faculty and students are engaged in a variety of research projects, many in collaboration with partners in government, non-profit agencies, or industry.
Our mission is to train students to be leaders in identifying and addressing biological questions at multiple levels of investigation from the molecular to the ecosystem. We provide students with theoretical, practical, and analytical expertise, as well as experience in the application of scientific results to real-
world problems. Research interests of Biology faculty members include Cell and Developmental Biology, Molecular Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Paleoecology and Climate Change, Biochemistry, Ecology, Conservation Biology, Population Genetics, Genomics, Evolutionary Biology, Plant-Microbe Interactions, and Physiology.
Many Biology faculty are also affiliated with the Centre for Species at Risk and Habitat Studies (http://web.ubc. ca/okanagan/ ikbarberschool/ research/ sarahs.html).
The University of British Columbia Okanagan is located in Kelowna, B.C., 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.
