University of Massachusetts in Boston Graduate Fellowship (Ph.D.)

December 3, 2007

A Graduate Fellowship (Ph.D.) is available in the lab of Dr. Ron Etter
at the University of Massachusetts in Boston in the area of molecular
evolution in deep-sea organisms starting in September 2008.  I am
looking for a highly motivated graduate student to work on a NSF funded
project exploring evolution in the deep sea. We are using molecular
genetic tools to address questions on a) the geographic and bathymetric
scales of population differentiation and speciation, b) the nature and
scale of isolating barriers, c) the role of evolution in creating
geographic and bathymetric variation in biodiversity and d) the
colonization and radiations within the deep Atlantic. The fellowship has
an annual stipend of $20,000 for the duration of the project.

Candidates should have a strong undergraduate background in biology,
with course work in molecular genetics and evolutionary biology.  Prior
research experience with molecular techniques is desirable.

Information on our graduate program can be found at http://www.bio.umb.edu/

If you are interested in pursuing a PhD addressing questions along these
lines please contact me at ron.etter@umb.edu or apply to our graduate
program.
