Graduate Research Opportunity

I am looking for a M.Sc. or Ph.D. student to undertake functional characterization of P1B-type heavy-metal ATPase transporters from Brachypodium distachyon or wheat.

Details to be announced

Master’s or Ph.D. student projects will address some of these questions and would be tailored to the student’s interests and background.
A B.Sc. in plant biology, microbiology, cell biology, genetics, or a related discipline is essential.
Previous coursework or laboratory experience in molecular biology and microbiology is an asset.
If you are interested or have further questions, please contact Dr Taylor (gregory.taylor@ualberta.ca).

Interested students will need to meet the Department of Biological Sciences entry standards and qualify for funding support (e.g. Departmental Teaching Assistantship, NSERC studentship).
Additional information for prospective students is available on the Biological Sciences website.
