Graduate Position – Sturgeon Genetics:  A Ph.D. research assistantship 
including stipend and tuition waiver is available to begin January 2007 in 
the laboratory of Dr. Ed Heist at Southern Illinois University Carbondale 
(SIUC) in collaboration with Dr. David Galat at the University of 
Missouri.  The project will involve development of Single Nucleotide 
Polymorphism (SNP) markers in river sturgeons of the genus Scaphirhychus 
in relation to conservation of the endangered pallid sturgeon (S. albus).  
This project will form part of a doctoral dissertation in the SIUC 
Department of Zoology (http://www.science.siu.edu/zoology/) in conjunction 
with the Fisheries and Illinois Aquaculture Center 
(http://fisheries.siu.edu/).  The ideal candidate will have prior 
experience with molecular genetics techniques (e.g. DNA sequencing and/or 
cDNA library construction) and will have an interest in the use of 
molecular genetics in conservation and fisheries management.  Interested 
students should contact Dr. Ed Heist at [log in to unmask]
