Two Master or Ph.D. student positions Plant genetics, genomics and bioinformatics
Two Master or Ph.D. student positions are immediately available in the Department of Biology at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, USA. Our research lab uses a combination of comparative and functional genomics, genetics and epigenetics approaches to study the mechanisms underlying structural and functional genomics changes within and between different plant species, with an emphasis on the determination of how transposable elements (TEs) and polyploidy contribute to plant evolution, and the epigenetic regulations and evolution of TEs in the agronomically important crop species. Ongoing projects include:
 Comparative genomics and epigenomics in plant evolution
 Genetic dissection of important agronomic traits in maize
 Epigenetic regulation in soybean and maize
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic graduate students with strong interests in any of the above areas. Students with background in plant biology, genetics, genomics, molecular biology and bioinformatics are highly desired, but not required. Favorable consideration may be given to candidates who have experiences with Linux/Unix system and Python/Perl/R/SAS programming languages. Excellent written and oral communications, as well as strong computational skills, are required.
Successful applicants will receive tuition waivers and at least two years of support as research assistants and are guaranteed teaching assistantships throughout their graduate studies.
To apply, please send your Curriculum Vitae, a cover letter which explains your research interests and experiences, and contact information for three references to Dr. Meixia Zhao (zhaom15@miamioh.edu). Please also check other basic requirements such as TOEFL and GRE scores for the graduate study in the Department of Biology at Miami University. Please include “Student application plus name” in the subject line when you apply for this position. Positions will remain open until filled. In addition to this, postdocs, visiting scholars or students are all welcome to join the lab.
The Department of Biology is one of the largest departments at Miami University. Research and teaching are supported by outstanding core facilities, the Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics, the Miami RedHawk High Performance Computing Cluster, the Center for Advanced Microscopy and Imaging, and a Laboratory Animal Resources Center. Miami University is a top-ranked public university for its commitment to excellence in both undergraduate and graduate education.
硕士或博士研究生招生植物遗传学，基因组学和生物信息学方向现有美国迈阿密大学（牛津，俄亥俄州）生物系硕士或博士研究生招生（全奖）名额两个。招生导师为 Dr. Meixia Zhao。本实验室利用比较和功能基因组学，传统遗传学和表观遗传学相结合的方法研究同一物种或不同物种之间结构和功能变异的机制，重点研究可转座元件和多倍化在植物进化上的作用，以及可转座元件的表观调控。相关研究方向：
 利用比较基因组学和表观基因组学的方法研究植物基因组进化
 遗传解析玉米重要的农艺性状
 大豆和玉米表观遗传调控研究等
我们寻找有激情和热情并且对上面任何一个方向感兴趣的同学加入本实验室。我们非常欢迎有植物学，遗传学，分子生物学和生物信息学背景的同学踊跃申请。另外对于熟悉 Linux/Unix 系统和掌握 Python/Perl/R/SAS 任何一门编程语言的同学会给与优先考虑的机会。请感兴趣的同学将您的简历，一封说明信阐述您的研究兴趣和背景，以及三位推荐人的联系方式发到 Dr. Meixia Zhao (zhaom15@miamioh.edu)。另外关于其他的具体要求比如 TOEFL 和 GRE 成绩请参见迈阿密大学生物学系研究生学习的网站。来信请注明“学生申请姓名”。本位置长期有效直到招到满意的学生为止。另外，欢迎博士后，访问学者，以及客座学生加入本实验室。
生物学系是迈阿密大学最大的系之一。研究和教学受到顶尖核心设备，生物信息学和功能基因组学中心，高级显微镜和成像中心，以及动物资源实验室中心的大力支持。迈阿密大学是一所在本科和研究生教学上都处于美国顶尖位置的公立型大学。
