Graduate Studentship

This graduate studentship will be part of a collaborative nematode genomics research program between the Gilleard lab and the pathogen sequencing group at Sanger Institute, Cambridge UK (Dr Matt Berriman). The project will involve the use of “next generation” sequence data to annotate a newly sequenced parasitic nematode genome and to investigate differential gene expression between drug resistant and susceptible parasites. Further information on the Gilleard lab is available at http://www.ucalgary.ca/jsgilleard/ and specific enquires can be directed to Dr John Gilleard at jsgillea@ucalgary.ca.

The successful candidate will have strong background in bioinformatics with some programming experience being highly desirable. Strong interpersonal, oral, and written communications skills are also important criteria.

Interested applicants should send a CV together with the names and contact information of 3 individuals who can provide letters of reference to Dr John Gilleard at jsgillea@ucalgary.ca
