Graduate Student Position in Invasive Plant Evolution
Invasive plant evolution
We seek a highly motivated and productive graduate student to work on a research project on the population genetics and evolutionary dynamics of the common reed, Phragmites australis. This species comprises both invasive and native lineages that each exhibit very different patterns of genetic variation and ecological amplitudes. Preliminary work on this species in our labs has revealed unexpected and intriguing relationships between invasiveness, genetic diversity, and adaptation.
Further work will be based on assessments of quantitative traits and adaptive evolution. Laboratory and greenhouse work will be conducted at Trent University, Ontario, Canada, with field work in northeastern North America and Western Europe.
Applicants should have research experience in molecular ecology, population genetics or related fields as well as broad interest in evolutionary processes. They should be able to work on complex and demanding projects and be enthusiastic about both field and lab work.
Applicants should send a letter with a statement of research interests and relevant experience, curriculum vitae with a list of publications (if any), copies of academic qualifications, and the names and e-mail addresses of three referees as a singe pdf file to Joanna Freeland (joannafreeland@trentu.ca; http://people.trentu.ca/joannafreeland) or
Marcel Dorken (marceldorken@trentu.ca; http://people.trentu.ca/marceldorken) by March 15.
