One graduate position is available beginning September 2008.
The project involves analysis of hierarchical genetic structure of invasive tunicates at different spatial scales and aims to i) characterize spatial and temporal patterns of genetic structure during the establishment and subsequent spread of invasive tunicates; ii) identify potential sources and vectors of invasions; and iii) address taxonomic problems related to color morphospecies.
This work is part of the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network (CAISN) which aims to examine vectors and pathways of invasions and to identify factors that affect the successful establishment of aquatic invasive species. http://www.uwindsor.ca/CAISN
Ideal candidates will have prior experience with molecular techniques (e.g. DNA sequencing) but students without prior experience will be considered provided they are interested in using molecular markers to understand species invasion and have the ability to work well in a collaborative research atmosphere.
Interested students should send their CV, a brief statement of research interest, and a list of 3 references to:
