The Edmands Lab at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (
https://dornsife.usc.edu/labs/edmands/) is recruiting a Ph.D. student for
research developing the copepod Tigriopus californicus as a new model for
the effects of mitochondria and mitonuclear interactions on sex-specific
aging. The ideal applicant would have a strong interest in evolutionary
genetics and aging, with experience in genomics, transcriptomics and/or
bioinformatics.
Prospective students should email Suzanne Edmands (sedmands@usc.edu) to
discuss project possibilities. In your email please include brief details
about your GPA, GRE, research interests, experience and reasons for
pursuing a Ph.D.
Applications should be submitted to the Marine Biology and Biological
Oceanography Graduate Program at the University of Southern California (
https://dornsife.usc.edu/bisc/meb-admissions/). All Ph.D. students in the
program will have five years of support (including tuition remission and
student health insurance) through a combination of RAships, TAships and
fellowships. To receive full consideration for university fellowships,
applications must be submitted by January 15, 2017.
