The Bradburd Lab at Michigan State University is seeking motivated PhD
students interested in studying statistical population genetics.
The lab is focused on evolutionary biology and population genetics, and
especially on statistical methods for inferring and visualizing complex
patterns of genetic information over space and time. There are currently
two main lines of inquiry in the lab:
1) Spatial population genetics: using spatial population genetic data to
study the processes that have generated patterns of genetic variation, with
a particular focus on isolation, migration, and local adaptation.
2) Temporal population genetics: studying how population structure
changes across space and through time, especially geared toward
understanding how populations adapt to climate change
I am interested in students who would like to collaborate on these projects
or develop independent research programs in the general fields of
population and evolutionary genetics/genomics. I am open to advising
students who develop their own empirical systems, but I expect all students
to be excited about statistical population genetics methods.
Positions: Students will be admitted through the Integrative Biology
Department (https://integrativebiology.natsci.msu.edu/graduate-program) and
the Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior Group (
https://eebb.natsci.msu.edu) at MSU.
Qualifications: Applicants should hold a bachelor???s degree in biology,
statistics, computer science, or a related field. Preference will be given
to applicants with previous relevant research experience. A passion for
evolutionary biology, data analysis, and quantitative methods is a key
asset. The Bradburd Lab is dedicated to being a safe space for diversity
in STEM.
Funding: Students in the lab will receive a generous stipend, research and
travel funds, and tuition waivers. Financial support comes through research
and teaching assistantships, as well as university fellowships for
competitive applicants. Students are strongly encouraged to seek external
fellowships through the NSF, NIH, and other relevant agencies or sources.
Those interested in positions in the lab should visit the lab webpage (
genescape.org) and email me (bradburd@msu.edu) with the following
information:
1) ???Prospective Student??? in the email subject line
2) Brief cover letter describing research interests, reasons for pursuing a
PhD, and career goals
3) CV
4) Unofficial transcripts, including GRE scores if available
5) Samples of scientific writing (published paper, manuscript in
preparation, undergrad/masters thesis, or class assignment)
6) Names and email addresses for 3 references
Applicants are encouraged to contact me well before applications are due to
the graduate school on December 1st.
I look forward to hearing from you!
