Graduate position:StonyBrookU_NY.EvolutionaryGenomics

The successful applicant will participate in a project that was recently
funded by NIH for 5 years. Whole genome sequencing will be used to
understand adaptation of marine Threespine Stickleback that have recently
colonized freshwater lakes. We will study evolutionary trajectories of
adaptive alleles by sequencing samples in time-series from young lake
populations. The project will involve sample preparation for sequencing,
population genetic analyses, and possibly sampling stickleback populations
in Alaskan lakes.

Please note that while interested applicants are encouraged to contact
Krishna Veeramah before applying, students wishing to join the lab must
ultimately apply to the Stony Brook Ecology and Evolution Graduate Program.
All relevant information for this program can be found at the website (
http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ecoevo/program/index.html) and a link to
the application can be found at https://goo.gl/EmQLYH. Please note that the
deadline for receipt of all Ph.D. application materials is December 1st,
2017. Earlier submissions are encouraged, particularly for those wishing to
be considered for Campus wide Graduate Council Fellowships and W. Burghardt
Turner Fellowships.

Prospective students are encouraged to address specific questions to the
Ecology and Evolution Graduate Program Coordinator
(*melissa.j.cohen@stonybrook.edu
