Sumber AMSA newsletter: PhD Opportunity with University of Technology Sydney The Aquatic Processes Group is a dynamic multi-disciplinary research team within the UTS Plant Functional Biology and Climate Change Cluster (C3). We are seeking a PhD candidate to join our research group to examine the adaptation of seagrass to environmental stress and climate change. Project Background: Seagrasses are marine keystone species, forming an essential ecosystem in coastal waters for sustaining a wide range of marine wildlife. Worldwide seagrass populations are declining rapidly. The project aims to develop sustainable solutions to address several key issues in seagrass physiology, genetics, and towards understanding the involvement of the candidate genes and pathways in the seagrasses. Candidate will have full access to the state-of-the-art plant molecular biology and bioinformatics tools, in combination with photobiology and plant physiology techniques to address several ecological questions. In particular, the project will involve gene expression studies and bioinformatical analysis of next-generation sequencing data (transcriptomics and genomics). How to apply: Please visit https://uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/c3-phd-seagrass-molecular.pdf for further information. Academic and informal inquires should be addressed to Professor Peter Ralph ([email protected]) as well as Dr Gaurav Sablok ([email protected]). Closing date for applications: January 15th 2015
