Te Papa MSc Scholarship in Molecular Systematics at Victoria University

Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand and Victoria University of
Wellington are offering a Master of Science (MSc) scholarship in the
field of molecular systematics at Victoria University. The purpose of
the award is to promote research between Te Papa and Victoria University
in the area of molecular systematics, ecology and evolution.

An MSc degree at Victoria University is undertaken over two years (Parts
1 and 2) and involves four courses worth equal marks, plus a research
thesis worth 60% of the total. The Te Papa-VUW scholarship provides the
successful applicant with a student stipend of $4000 in part 1 (2009)
and $6000 in part 2 (2010). The project offered in 2009-2010 will be a
molecular systematic investigation of the New Zealand species of
Pseudopanax (Araliaceae) or Gleichenia (Gleicheniaceae), or another
project to be determined. The thesis research will involve the DNA
sequencing of chloroplast and nuclear genes, with complementary
morphological analyses, and will address phylogenetic questions such as
the relationships between species and generic boundaries, as well as
issues of biogeography and species-delimitation. The ideal applicant
will have completed a BSc degree and have an interest in New Zealand
plants and molecular phylogenetic techniques.
