Graduate student and postdoctoral positions.
We are soliciting applications from individuals interested in either
graduate-level or postdoctoral research on the biology of Wolbachia.
These endosymbiotic bacteria are perhaps the most widespread parasites
on earth and are likely to have profound effects on the ecology and
evolution of their host species. The research is funded by a
5-year Frontiers in Integrative Biological Research (FIBR) grant from
NSF. The proposed research aims to integrate approaches spanning
genomics, genetics, functional biology, evolution, ecology, and
biogeography. Training will thus be cross-disciplinary in nature,
and individuals will have opportunities to work at multiple
institutions, including the University of Rochester, UC –
Riverside, UC – Santa Cruz, the Smithsonian Tropical
Research Institute (STRI), the American Museum of Natural History
(AMNH), the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), and the Institute for
Genomic Research (TIGR). Funded participants in the project are
listed below. Please send initial inquires to any of these individuals
via email.
