多伦多大学王岩教授课题组(真菌生态与进化生物学)现招收全奖博士研究生1-2名。方向主要侧重于1)高通量真菌基因组的测序、拼接和注释;2)微型真菌的系统发生及标记基因筛选;3)昆虫共生真菌的种群结构和基因组进化;4)昆虫肠道定植真菌的基因表达分析。欢迎有进化生物学、分子生物学、或基因组学相关背景的同学申请。对以上研究方向感兴趣的同学请发送简历及相关背景介绍至1point3acres.com。课题组欢迎交流访问的学生和学者,具体信息请发邮件询问。

The Wang lab based in the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough is looking for Ph.D. students interested in genomics and symbiosis between microbial fungi and insects to start in Fall 2020. Interested applicants should apply through the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology graduate program at University of Toronto (deadline Jan. 7th, 2020).

Major efforts in the lab include: 1) assembling high-quality fungal genomes using long-read sequencing data, 2) developing phylogenomic markers for molecular systematics of early-diverging fungi, 3) investigating population genomic structure of insect-associated fungi, and 4) examining experimental evolution and gene expression preference of insect gut-dwelling fungi. We use combined approaches in field collection, host-microbe interactions, and bioinformatics. The Wang lab is strongly committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace.

Qualifications:
Applicants should have research interests and relevant experience in either Mycology, Entomology, or Bioinformatics. A Master of Science degree is generally eligible for entrance into our Ph.D. program. A bachelor’s degree in either Biology or Science is required before Fall 2020 for the direct-entry Ph.D. program. Those with experience of phylogenomics, comparative transcriptomics, gene editing, or molecular biology are highly encouraged.

For inquiries, please contact Dr. Yan Wang at 1point3acres.com. Please include your most recent CV and a brief research statement (less than 1 page) summarizing your research interests and experience.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from racialized persons / persons of colour, women, Indigenous / Aboriginal People of North America, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ persons, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
