Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship, Environmental Genomics USA
Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship, Environmental Genomics
University of Arkansas
An NSF-funded graduate research assistantship is available to support
a Ph.D. candidate interested in functional genomics of adaptation and
evolution. The project involves laboratory and field experiments
designed to discover patterns of gene expression in populations of
cactophilic Drosophila mojavensis exposed to different host plants in
stressful and non-stressful thermal regimes. Our general goals are to
uncover whole-genome patterns of gene expression in populations
exposed to natural abiotic and biotic stress. Ultimately, we wish to
pinpoint clusters of functionally interacting genes expressed
throughout the life cycle in different environments, and predict
limits of phenotypic plasticity and adaptation, particularly in
response to stressful environments and long-term global climate change.
Laboratory experiments involve DNA microarrays to study gene
expression changes due to different host cacti and temperature
stresses, as well as differences in epicuticular hydrocarbons. Field-
related work will include multiple field trips to Mexico to monitor
wild flies, assess demography of wild populations, and analyze
cuticular hydrocarbon and RNA profiles. Other related research
projects are also possible. This position is part of a collaborative
project involving the Univ. of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and the Univ.
of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Applicants must gain admission to the Ph.D. program in the Department
of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas. Application
information is available at http://biology.uark.edu/1251.htm. Full
stipend, tuition, and benefits are included. Supplemental funding is
available on a competitive basis for applicants qualifying for
Doctoral Fellowships at the Univ. of Arkansas (http://
biology.uark.edu/1255.htm).

I want to know a complete information about the Phd Fast Track program in Molecular Biology.
Thaks for your cooperation.
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Students enter at Fast Track programs leading to degrees from master to PhD level. Such Fast Track programs often utilize graduate courses in a student’s MS degree plan and continuation of Master’s project as PhD project. Please note that not all universities offers this kind of program.
I hope this will help. Please feel free to ask any further questions.
Cheers,
Amit
Dynamique, motivée et psychologiquement prête pour toute situation future, je suis titulaire d’un diplôme d’Ingénieur Agronome spécialisée en Economie et Sociologie Rurales et je voudrais poursuivre mes études et développer ma carrière professionnelle en Etats Unies
En effet j’ai pour ambition de développer un projet de recherche qui consiste à faire une analyse financière des différantes ONG opérant dans le développement durable et la lutte contre pauvreté,d’en ressortir les difficultés qu’elles rencontrent afin de leur proposer des solutions sous forme de microprjets qui leurs seront utiles et leur permettra d’opérer avec plus de facilité.
j’aimerai également me spécialiser en étude d’impacts, d’evaluation et du suivi participatif des projets car j’ai eu a rediger mon mémoire de fin d’année qui portait sur l’etude d’impact de la Domestication participve des arbres locaux sur les conditions de vie des populations rurales, stratégie de lutte contre la pauvreté.
Bref j’ai besoin d’une aide afin de voir accompli mes ambitions et je compte sur votre bonne compréhension pour y parvenir.
Iam my 23 years of age from vietnamese. I have a bachelor degree Enviromental engineer from university DaLat. Iam working in the enviroment sience. I have a great desire to continue my future education to Environmental science at other country. i look forward to hearing from you soon. thanks
