Doctoral Studentship, Massey University
Doctoral Studentship, Massey University
A 3-year PhD studentship is available at the Allan Wilson Centre for
Molecular Ecology and Evolution, Massey University, Palmerston North, New
Zealand to start in early 2008 (starting date is flexible).
The successful candidate will join a team studying the early phases of crop
domestication by examining endemic New Zealand plant species cultivated by
Maori. The PhD student will study one of the four species our team is
investigating by developing and scoring AFLP and microsatellite DNA markers
in order to determine the number of times the species has been brought into
cultivation and how domestication has reduced genetic diversity in
cultivated populations. Traditional Maori oral histories regarding the
origins of specific populations will also be sought and combined with the
genetic data to explore pre-European Maori settlement routes and mobility.
We are looking for a student with an MSc or equivalent in biological
sciences. Experience in molecular laboratory techniques such as PCR,
sequencing and molecular marker development is preferable and a willingness
to engage with Maori iwi is also desirable.
More information about the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and
Evolution, one New Zealand¹s Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs), is
available at http://awcmee.massey.ac.nz/.
Interested candidates should contact Dr Lara Shepherd
(lara.shepherd@vuw.ac.nz) or Prof. Peter Lockhart
(p.j.lockhart@massey.ac.nz) for more information. Applications close on
February 10 2008.
