| Undergraduate Student - Angert Lab |
|---|
|
The Angert lab in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University is seeking an undergraduate student to participate in biological and plant
ecological genetic research. The successful applicant will participate in research on the mechanisms of adaptation involving plant care and molecular
techniques. You will be trained to perform seed counting and weighing, data collection and DNA extraction. The successful applicant will learn plant
care techniques and DNA extraction. The position includes some data entry and quality control so experience/interest in this area is a plus. This is a
paid position offering between 15-20 hours per week.
This position is available for both work-study and non work-study students. Please send a resume and a one-page statement of interest as a single .pdf file to Barbara Gibson at Barbara.Gibson@Colostate.edu. |
| Graduate Fellowships in Molecular Plant Biology - Fall 2008 |
|---|
|
The Program in Molecular Plant Biology (PMPB) at Colorado State University is offering Graduate Research Assistantships to
highly motivated Ph. D. applicants interested in Molecular Plant Biology. The PMPB is an interdepartmental program with
over twenty faculty members from four departments in two different colleges (College of Agricultural Science and College
of Natural Sciences). Researchers in the PMPB investigate fundamental and applied questions in plant biology using
molecular approaches. Together, they have the expertise and a strong reputation in all areas of molecular plant biology.
The participating faculty members are highly interactive and have research programs funded by various federal, state and
international agencies. The questions asked cover the entire field of experimental plant biology including developmental
biology, plant pathology, stress physiology, rhizosphere biology, phytoremediation, photosynthesis, transport and
evolution. In addition to fundamental research, several research groups are engaged in research that may lead to the
development of plants with useful new traits in crop plants. The PMPB offers research and training opportunities in all
areas of molecular plant biology including genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, molecular sytematics, synthetic biology,
and molecular and whole plant physiology. Genomic, proteomic and metabolomic approaches are integrated in these research
programs. Colorado State University is located at the foot of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, in the town of Fort Collins,
which enjoys one of the best climates in the USA and is a perennial in the top 10 best places to live. Geographically and
scientifically PMPB is in the perfect environment for exciting research in plant biology.
All students in the program are required to rotate through three laboratories prior to choosing a home lab. At the end of the first year, students select their advisors from any of four departments in two colleges. During the first year, students in the program are offered a research assistantship and tuition. To provide teaching experience, a number of teaching assistantships are offered through different departments. Students in the PMPB will benefit from the highly active and interactive group of plant faculty and the state-of-the art facilities to conduct cutting-edge science in molecular plant biology.
