We are particularly interested in understanding >the forces driving genome evolution, and in testing the role of >natural >selection at the genome level.  Potential research projects include >1) >investigating the effects of polyploidy on the evolution of >transposable elements, 2) testing for the effects of gene expression >level on molecular evolution, and 3) distinguishing the effects of >demographic history and positive Darwinian selection on patterns of >genetic diversity. Research projects range from primarily lab-based >collection and analysis of DNA sequence diversity data, to >theoretical >modeling and computer-based analysis of genome sequences. >Further information about research in the lab can be found at >http://www.yorku.ca/stephenw and information on York University's >Biology graduate program can be found at >http://www.biol.yorku.ca/grad/ > >Interested students are asked to submit a CV, a copy of academic >transcripts and contact information for three references to >stephenw@... by April 15, 2005. > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Stephen I Wright, PhD >Assistant Professor >Department of Biology >York University >4700 Keele St. >Toronto, ON Canada >M3J 1P3 >Phone: (416) 736-2100 ext. 20213 >Fax: (416) 736-5698 >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >
