Deep Gene Student Research
Training Support |
The Deep
Gene Research Coordination Group exists to integrate green plant
phylogenetics and genomics. We want to explore the ways in which
comparative phylogenetic studies can inform functional genomic studies,
and knowledge of plant genomes can inform the understanding of phylogenetic
relationships. With the support of the National Science Foundation
(Grant DEB-0090227), the group is supporting research training of
students (both undergraduate and graduate), The goal is "cross-training"
-- enabling students to work in a laboratory other than their home
lab, preferably moving between genomics and phylogenetics or vice-versa.
Supported are (1) rotations between different labs at the same insitution
or at different institutions, (2) summer internships, (3) participation
in approriate training courses. Awards will apply towards travel
and living expenses; the host laboratory is expected to provide
necessary training, equipment, and supplies. Awards will range from
$2,000 - $3,000 for 2-3 month periods. Awardees will be expected
to participate in future Deep Gene meetings.
To apply, please send the following to Brent Mishler at bmishler@socrates.berkeley.edu
(electronic submissions only) : a one-page description of your background,
research interests, & plans, a short CV, have your host professor
email approval of your visit to his/her lab, and have your major
professor email a brief endorsement of your application and need
for the financial support.
When making awards, a balance will be maintained between different
research areas, labs, and regions of the country. Applications from
under-represented groups are especially encouraged (please self-identify
in your application).
There is no deadline for submission, but early applications are
best because only limited funds are available each year.
