Evolutionary Ecology and Amphibian Emerging Infectious Diseases
Seeking a highly motivated and independent person to fill an MSc.
position in my lab. The research will be in the scope of Emergent
Infectious Diseases in Amphibians (Ranavirus & Chytrid fungus). These
two diseases are causing mass die-offs in amphibian populations but the
evolution, ecology, dynamics and effects of the pathogens are still
largely unknown. The student will work in the context of host-parasite
co-evolution by combining field work and experiments depending on
his/her interests. The candidate is encouraged to create and develop
his/her own project in the mentioned area. Good aptitude for fieldwork,
molecular ecology skills and especially population genetics basics are
expected as well as good communication skills.
Starting date:
Candidates are expected to commence their studies between June -
September 2008.
Full funding of approximately $15,000/year is guaranteed for 2 years
through a combination of TAships and RAships. Additional scholarships
will be available by competition.
How to apply:
Interested students should contact me via email, including a cover
letter describing background and interests (including specific interests
in my lab), cv, transcripts (unofficial is fine).
