Dear Marmam colleagues,

There is an opportunity for a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship at the Immune Plasticity and Molecular Ecoepidemiology lab (https://www.kacevedowhitehouselab.org/main), within the Biological Sciences Doctoral Program of the Autonomous University of Queretaro, Mexico (http://fcn.uaq.mx/index.php/programas/posgrados/dcb/convocatoria-dcb) starting January 2019.

The PhD project will focus on the epigenetic basis of epithelial transformation of the genital tract of the California sea lion. The project will be carried out in collaboration with The Marine Mammal Center, in California.

The successful candidate must have a background in biological sciences (BSc and MSc in Biology or Veterinary Medicine) and be fluent in Spanish. There is no need to have worked with sea lions, but it would be helpful to have some experience in a molecular biology lab.

Interested candidates should send a CV and letter of interest to Dr. Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse at karina.acevedo.whitehouse@uaq.mx before September 15th.

Think of all the men who never knew the answers. Think of all those who never even cared. Still, there are some who ask why, who want to know, who dare to try.
