Graduate student positions (M.Sc. level) will be available in May/September 2014 at the University of Manitoba, in collaboration with the University of Winnipeg.
The research program focuses on salinity tolerance of boreal forest plant species. The students will use both physiological and ecological approaches to study salinity tolerance of nitrogen fixing woody species. The goal of this research is to identify suitable plant species for land reclamation. The research team includes Dr. Sylvie Renault and Dr. John Markham (Department of Biological Sciences, University of Manitoba) and Dr. Germán Avila Sakar (Department of Biology, University of Winnipeg). The ideal candidates will have a background in plant physiology and ecology or related fields, be able to work independently and communicate well with others. The positions will remain open until filled. Interested students should contact: Dr. Sylvie Renault [email protected]
