PhD and MS positions are available in lab of Mark Christie at Purdue University. Two positions are available for highly-motivated candidates interested in genetic adaptation, dispersal, and conservation and population genetics. For more information on research in the Christie lab please visit: http://markrchristie.wordpress.com
Potential projects include: 1. Examining the rapid adaptation of introduced fishes into the Great Lakes, 2. Identifying the genetic and evolutionary consequences of domestication, captive breeding, and supplementation of wild populations, and 3. Using existing and novel approaches to determine patterns of dispersal within a metapopulation context. These are the main research themes in the Christie laboratory, with research often focusing on fishes, but graduate students are free to explore independent lines of inquiry in any system. Previous research experience with molecular techniques, computational work, statistics, bioinformatics, and assisting with the design and implementation of experiments will be highly regarded. If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact me directly at [email protected] with a resume/CV and a brief description of your research interests and experience. -- Mark R.
