Graduate Position: Monarch Butterfly and Milkweed Conservation The
Puzey lab at the College of William and Mary is recruiting graduate
students (M.S) interested understanding the evolutionary history of
Monarch-Milkweed interactions. More information about my lab can be
found here: http://puzeylab.weebly.com.
Positions for MS program start Fall 2018. Please contact Josh Puzey
(jrpuzey@wm.edu) for more information.
The successful applicant will be passionate about evolution, interested
in plant and insect interactions, and keen to use genomic techniques
to address their research questions. Students working the Puzey lab
get exposure to a wide range of analyses and techniques including
next-generation sequencing (DNA, RNA, smRNA), population genomic analyses,
and molecular ecology.

Graduate position: Plant Evolutionary Genomics
The Puzey lab at the College of William and Mary is recruiting
graduate students (M.S) interested exploring the evolutionary
and genomic consequences of whole genome duplication in plants
(http://puzeylab.weebly.com). Positions for MS program start Fall
2018. Please contact Josh Puzey (jrpuzey@wm.edu) for more information.

Details about the M.S. program in Biology at W&M can be found here
(http://www.wm.edu/as/biology/graduate/). Full-time students are
supported by teaching assistantships and full tuition waivers.
Most students complete their master’s degree in two years and go on
to pursue either a Ph.D. or M.D. degree. Our program also provides
the training required to enter technical positions in industry and
government. Recent grads are pursuing Ph.D.s at Duke, UC Davis, Johns
Hopkins, and University of Toronto; others are following career paths in
academia, biotech, pharmaceuticals, resource management, and environmental
consulting.
