Dear MARMAM members - Due to our previously successful applicant withdrawing for personal reasons prior to commencement, we are looking for a full-time Honours student (with an undergraduate degree in either Biomedical or Veterinary Science or similar BSc; as well as familiarity and/or experience with PCR-based molecular techniques) to start in the middle of this year (end: mid 2017) at Murdoch University (Perth, Western Australia).
The project title is "Identification and characterisation of viruses associated with genital mucosal lesions in a bottlenose (Tursiops sp) dolphin from Western Australia," and the project objectives are: * Develop expertise in PCR and gene/genome sequencing. * Identification, sequencing and genomic characterisation of any herpesviruses, papillomaviruses and/or novel viruses that may be present. * Conduct phylogenetic analyses of any viruses found. The project description can be viewed at http://www.murdoch.edu.au/School-of-Veterinary-and-Life-Sciences/Our-courses/Honours/Honours-opportunities/ (under the Veterinary Biology discipline heading).
