GRADUATE STUDENT POSITIONS IN ECOLOGICAL & EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS University of Toronto, Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca
We are pleased to announce graduate student positions in ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS in the newly formed Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Toronto (St. George campus). EEB is home to over 20 outstanding scientists in the fields of ecology and evolution. Research in ecological and evolutionary genetics is one of the strengths of EEB, comprised of an innovative community of faculty and students studying topical problems in population genetics, molecular evolution, quantitative genetics, experimental evolution, and comparative genomics. Faculty research uses both non-model systems and the classic model organisms, A. thaliana, C. elegans, and D. melanogaster. Recent faculty hires are currently recruiting graduate students, with positions available in the labs of: Aneil Agrawal (http://labs.eeb.utoronto.ca/agrawal/) Belinda Chang (http://labs.eeb.utoronto.ca/chang/) Asher Cutter (http://labs.eeb.utoronto.ca/cutter/) John Stinchcombe (http://www.botany.utoronto.ca/ResearchLabs/StinchcombeLab/) Stephen Wright (http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/people/faculty/wright) and many others (http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/people/faculty) The graduate program in EEB provides training for students toward both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees and promotes excellence in research. The EEB department is located on the St. George campus of the University of Toronto in downtown Toronto, Ontario. Toronto is a vibrant, multicultural city on the shore of Lake Ontario, and is home to rich cultural options in the arts, music and film, ethnic cuisine, and a high quality of life. Interested students should contact faculty with a brief cover letter and curriculum vitae indicating their academic background and research interests and file an application with the department. Additional information about faculty research programs and graduate studies, as well as application instructions, is available on the EEB website (http://www.eeb.utoronto.ca/graduate). We welcome strong applicants from any country, but particularly encourage Canadian citizens with NSERC predoctoral fellowships and US citizens with NSF predoctoral fellowships, both of which can be supported at the University of Toronto. The deadline for new applicants in EEB is January 15, 2008. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- John Stinchcombe Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto, 25 Willcocks St. Toronto, ON Canada M5S 3B2 416-946-5986 http://www.botany.utoronto.ca/ResearchLabs/StinchcombeLab/
