A graduate position in Aquatic Microbial Ecology at the Ph.D. or M.Sc. level is available in the laboratory of Dr. Steven Short at the University of Toronto Mississauga, starting in 2009.
I am looking for a motivated student interested in microbial ecology, aquatic microbiology, and molecular biology. My research focuses on the role of viruses in phytoplankton population and community ecology. To better understand the complex interactions of phytoplankton and their viruses, I use quantitative molecular techniques to examine their community composition and dynamics in natural environments and laboratory cultures. I encourage all interested students to contact me to discuss potential projects.
The successful candidate will be enrolled through the University of Toronto Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). All EEB graduate students, whether domestic or international, in the MSc program or the first four years of a PhD program (first five years if entering directly from a bachelor’s) are guaranteed a minimum annual stipend ($22,629 for domestic students for the 2007/2008 academic year).
Potential applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.20 (on a four-point system). Canadian citizens will be given first priority, but qualified international students are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates should submit a one-page cover letter describing their interest in my research program, a current copy of their CV and a transcript of their academic record via email to steven.short@utoronto.ca.
