Graduate Fellowships in Ecological Genomics at Kansas State University

Ecological Genomics: Genes in Ecology and Ecology in Genes

Multiple Graduate Fellowships AVAILABLE for admission in Fall 2008 to join the Ecological Genomics Institute (EGI) at Kansas State University. Research in the EGI works to link responses of living systems to environmental change at the genetic level. The overarching goal of this research initiative is to identify the genes that are involved in organismal responses to the environment.

This Ecological Genomics initiative takes advantage of existing strengths at Kansas State University (KSU) in genetics and genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology to answer cross-cutting questions that lie at the interface of genomics and ecology. This collaborative research effort crosses disciplines (genetics and ecology) and departments (Agronomy, Biology, Entomology, Plant Pathology, Computing and Information Science).  In addition, the EGI takes advantage of experimental manipulations at the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site.

Research and education opportunities exist for Graduate Students to work towards an MS or PhD degree in this large collaborative and interdisciplinary effort.  More information about the Kansas State University Ecological Genomics Institute research groups can be found at (www.ksu.edu/ecogen).  Twenty-eight faculty with interests spanning the diversity of disciplines within ecological genomics are involved in the Ecological Genomics Institute (see below).

The deadline for applications is January 15, 2008.
