The course combines lectures with hands-on practical exercises, ensuring 
participants develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills.
 
By the end of this course, participants will:
Identify SNPs and SVs using de novo assembly and read mapping approaches
Evaluate sequencing technologies (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore) for 
variant detection
Compare multiple genomes and analyze structural variations
Annotate variations and interpret their functional impacts

Ecolog-L Postdoctoral Researcher 2: Evaluating the Impacts of Short-Interval Reburning on Boreal Forest Resilience in NWT

[Emily Bowyer]

This postdoctoral position focuses on the effects of short-interval reburning 
in the Northwest Territories, especially following the extreme 2023 fire 
season. The research will explore changes in forest structure, composition, 
carbon stocks, and ecosystem functions, using data from areas impacted by 
short-interval reburning and comparing it to longer fire return interval sites. 
The role involves leading fieldwork in remote locations and collaborating with 
community and government partners to better understand fire risks and inform 
adaptive fire management strategies.
This position is at the Baltzer Lab at the Wilfrid Laurier University. Please

Ecolog-L PhD 1: Reconstructing Fire History in the Southern Northwest Territories

[Emily Bowyer]

PhD 1: Reconstructing Fire History in the Southern Northwest Territories
This PhD position focuses on upscaling fire history in the southern Northwest 
Territories through remote sensing methods. The research aims to connect fire 
history maps with ecosystem functions like carbon storage, wildlife habitat, 
and biodiversity, using both remote sensing and field-based data. Collaborating 
with a team investigating short-interval reburns, this role will also evaluate 
burn severity data products and their application in boreal forest management. 
Fieldwork will take place in remote areas of southern NWT, with the opportunity 
to contribute to adaptive fire management strategies in partnership with the 
Government of the Northwest Territories and Canadian Forest Service.

Ecolog-L Recruiting Masters students; New Mexico Tech Biology

[Duval, Benjamin]

All-
Please see below and circulate widely!
-BD

The Biology Department at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
(NM

Tech/NMT) is recruiting outstanding student researcher-scholars to join our
highly competitive MS program beginning in Fall of 2025. The Biology
Department is a growing force within NM Tech, and is committed to educating
and training the next generation of biology-oriented scholars, scientists,
and problem-solvers. Master’s students in our program can expect rigorous
classroom/laboratory coursework, with the expectation of a high-quality
Thesis resulting from research performed under the tutelage of our
exceptional faculty mentors. Former NMT Biology MS graduates have gone on
to earn PhD’s, MD’s, DVM’s, or immediately entered the workforce taking
Biotech jobs, National Laboratory research positions, and work for NGO’s,

Non-profits and as Primary School Educators.


Having the support of a faculty mentor is critical to acceptance in the
program. We have limited slots for Fall 2025 and encourage prospective
students to contact one or more faculty (see below) regarding potential
thesis projects.

Faculty research interests include: biogeochemistry, bioinformatics,
ecotoxicology, fungal ecology, landscape genetics, medical microbiology &
wildlife ecology

If a formal offer of acceptance is made to a candidate, we provide
competitive TA support during the first semester that can be extended based
on degree progress. The majority of our students receive a combination of
TA and RA (Research Assistantship) financial support. Summer support is
typically provided by extramural grants or institutional funding.


The Biology Department is also the historic anchor of an 11-department
trans-disciplinary Biotechnology PhD program and outstanding MS students
would be highly competitive for entry into that doctorate pathway.
Interested prospective students should:


1) Begin formally applying to NMT graduate school:


2) Contact one or more faculty members below with a brief cover letter
(email is fine) explaining your research interests and career goals

3) Include a 1-page CV/resume in the inquiry email

Dr. Benjamin Duval  (ecosystem ecology,
ecotoxicology, global change, soil science)

Dr. Paris Salazar-Hamm  (mycologist, emerging fungal
disease)

Dr. Joshua Jahner (bioinformatics, conservation
biology, landscape genetics)

NM Tech  is located in Socorro, NM which boasts proximity
to the Rio Grande, Chihuahuan

Desert and the Magdalena Mountains

are visible from campus. The town is ~8000 people, is minutes from
world-class mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing. Albuquerque is ~1hr
north. The cost of living is among the lowest for Southwestern mountain
towns. The weather is typically spectacular!
