The Rolian lab at the University of Calgary is looking to recruit highly qualified and motivated
graduate students at the Masters and Doctoral levels, to begin in May or September
2015. Our lab studies the limb musculoskeletal system in mammals. Through artificial
selection, we have created a line of mice in which the limb bones have become elongated
relative to body mass. This unique resource is being used to understand how the limb
skeleton evolves, from genomic and developmental perspectives, and how limb bone
length influences musculoskeletal function in health and disease. Students joining the lab
will have the opportunity to develop their own projects in consultation with Dr. Rolian,
with topics ranging from genetic, developmental, evolutionary and/or biomechanics aspects
of this vertebrate model, to its relevance to musculoskeletal health in humans.
The ideal candidate will have an outstanding record and background in biology or life
sciences, with a focus on evolutionary biology. Basic knowledge of vertebrate comparative
anatomy is desirable. The student should be competitive for external and/or internal
funding (e.g., NSERC, CIHR). The Rolian lab is well integrated with the faculties of
Veterinary Medicine, Medicine and Science, and with the McCaig Institute for Bone and
Joint Health, providing many opportunities for collaborations across faculties. Interested
candidates should send Dr. Rolian a CV and a short description outlining their interests in
graduate work in our research group, as soon as possible (email: cprolian@ucalgary.ca).
