The Powder lab at Clemson University is recruiting MS and PhD students to
study the genetic and developmental basis of craniofacial evolution of
cichlid fishes (Evo-Devo). Positions would start in Fall 2018. We combine
approaches including quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and population
genomics to identify genetic regions in cichlids that contribute to
craniofacial variation. We then analyze candidate genes and
transcriptional regulators utilizing pharmacological treatments, gene
knockdowns, genetic engineering (CRISPR/cas9), genomics, and geometric
morphometric shape analysis in either cichlids or zebrafish embryos. See

Both MS and PhD degrees are available through the Department of Biological
Sciences at Clemson University and will be supported through Graduate
Teaching Assistantships (GTAs) and Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs).
Detailed information about the graduate program and admissions are
available at
http://www.clemson.edu/science/departments/biosci/academics/graduate/index.html.
The application deadline is Jan 5, 2018.
About the area:
Located in Upstate South Carolina, Clemson???s picturesque campus is on the
shores of Lake Hartwell and in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
We are surrounded by lakes, waterfalls, and abundant hiking. Also within a
quick drive is the beautiful and thriving Greenville SC, ranked #7 on
Lonely Planet???s 2015 Best in the US list, as well as Asheville NC, Atlanta
GA, and Charlotte NC.
Interested? Contact Kara Powder at kpowder@clemson.edu to talk more before
applying.
