Positions are available for Masters and Ph.D. students in the Gallagher Laboratory. Our research uses the natural genetic variation in S. cerevisiae to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in response to environmental toxins, such as fungicides and herbicides using classical genetics, next generation sequencing of genomes and transcriptomes, whole- cell proteomics and mapping of post-translational modifications. The minimum requirements are a B.A. or B.S. in biology/ genetics/ biochemistry/ bioinformatics or related area, excellent oral and written communication skills, and demonstrated ability to work effectively with others. Strong bioinformatic skills are also highly desirable. Applicants must apply to the Biology Department at WVU for consideration, submit GRE and TOEFL scores for non-native English speakers. Interested students should visit http://biology.wvu.edu/graduate for additional information. Students interested in applying to the graduate program as a student in the Gallagher lab must contact Dr. Gallagher prior to submitting an application to the department. Please email an undergraduate transcript, a CV with contact information for three references and a brief summary of research interests to Dr. Gallagher at [email protected]
