[ECOLOG-L] Graduate Positions in Evolutionary ecology and conservation
GRADUATE STUDENT POSITIONS AVAILABLE: CANADA There are immediate opportunities for qualified graduate students (MSc amp; PhD) to work in Dan Heath’s Evolutionary Conservation Genetics lab at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER) at the University of Windsor (Ontario, Canada). Projects include; investigating the role of gene transcription evolution in local adaptation in BC salmon, evolutionary ecology and conservation of the Eastern Sand Darter, a threatened species in Ontario, and a population and quantitative genetic analysis of migratory behaviour in salmon and trout. Students will have opportunities for field and lab work, and will be expected to attend and present at national and international conferences.

PhD position studying contaminants and catfish
I am looking for a PhD student to work on a project examining the ecology and adaptation of Detroit River brown bullhead (a catfish) to high levels of contaminants (relative to bullhead from clean sites). Preliminary data indicate these fish may have evolved a completely different contaminant response pathway to deal with the carcinogenic effects of PAHs etc. The project will include lots of field work, plus microarray, qRT-PCR and population genetics lab work. Some background would be preferable, but I can train in the technical lab stuff. I have funding for 4 years. The project starts immediately, so contact me ASAP (with CV, e-mail addresses of potential references, and a grade summary) if you are interested.
