GRADUATE STUDENT POSITIONS IN EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS AND BIOINFORMATICS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO

The Alvarez-Ponce lab at the University of Nevada, Reno, is accepting
applications from potential M.S and Ph.D. students.

Research in our lab focuses on the evolution of genes and genomes, and
how this evolution is shaped by natural selection. Specific topics
include rates of protein evolution, the evolution of molecular
networks, the evolution of methylomes, and gene duplication. More
information about the lab can be found at
www.genomeevol.wordpress.com.

The ideal candidates would have:
- A strong commitment to conducting high-quality research.
- A strong interest in Genomics and Molecular Evolution.
- Experience with bioinformatics analyses, including programming in
any scripting language (e.g., PERL or Python), or a strong willingness
to learn.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills.
- The requirements to be accepted in one of UNR’s graduate programs
(Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology, Cellular and Molecular
Biology, or Biology programs).

Official applications are due to the Graduate School in mid-December
(EECB and CMB PhD programs) or at the beginning of February (MS in
Biology program). Informal enquiries can be sent to Dr. David
Alvarez-Ponce (d...@unr.edu), including:
- A short application letter, addressing the applicant’s motivation
for the position, and how her/his experience and skills align with the
requirements listed above. Please include your GPA and TOEFL/IELTS
scores.
- A CV.
- Contact information for potential referees.

The University of Nevada, Reno offers an interactive and productive
research environment, including outstanding core facilities in
genomics and bioinformatics. The Biology Department has a growing
evolutionary genomics research community. Reno is located in the
Sierra Nevada mountains near Lake Tahoe and has been recently rated as
one of the best small cities in the US for outdoor recreation and
overall quality of life.

Please circulate this post among suitable candidates.
