A PhD position available in Evolutionary Genomics of Xenopus, the University of Texas - Arlington, beginning Fall 2007. I am seeking a highly qualified and motivated student with interests in genomics, molecular evolution, bioinformatics and biostatistics.
The successful candidate will conduct research on African Clawed Frogs (Xenopus) to
address questions about the role of epigenetic variation and gene regulation in the evolution of reproductive isolation and phenotypic differences between species. An essential component of the project involves using RNA protocols, chromatin assays, DNA chips for microarray analysis of gene expression, and embryo injections.
Ideally, the candidate should have molecular biology experience together with an understanding of evolutionary mechanisms and a strong quantitative/ computational background. Former experience with Xenopus, although not required, will be a great asset.
The University of Texas Arlington, the second largest component of the UT System, is
conveniently located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, minutes away from the best sports, entertainment and recreational opportunities in Texas. The Department of Biology at UTA provides intellectually stimulating environment with a number of dynamic research groups with strengths in genomics, evolutionary biology, taxonomy, and molecular evolution.
Informal inquiries concerning the project and applications may be addressed to Pawel Michalak, michalak@uta. edu. Applications including a CV, statement of research interest, copies of relevant publications, and contact information of three references should be emailed or mailed to me at the address below.
