Graduate student assistantship in ecotoxicogenomics

We are currently looking for a PhD candidate for a project starting in May 2009. The objective of the research project is to develop a yellow perch microarray and to test its potential for detecting stress induced by chronic exposure to metals in natural environments. The project will involve field experiments and sampling as well as laboratory work in molecular biology, physiology and biochemistry. The candidate will be supervised by Patrice Couture and Peter Campbell (INRS-ETE) in close collaboration with Louis Bernatchez (Université Laval) for the molecular aspects and with our industrial partner (Vale Inco). The Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique centre Eau Terre Environnement is an exceptional training environment with leading-edge infrastructure and equipment and an interdisciplinary team of researchers. The Canada Research Chair in genomics and conservation of aquatic resources led by Louis Bernatchez is internationally recognized in the fields of fish genetics and genomics.

If you are interested in this position, please send an email to Patrice Couture (patrice.couture@ete.inrs.ca) with your CV and a letter of intent accompanied by the email addresses and phone numbers of three referees. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than 31 March 2009.
