Dear all, I am looking for a M.Sc. student to start in September 2014 at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The research project will involve looking at genes involved in cancer susceptibility and reproductive success in the St. Lawrence beluga whale population (Delphinapterus leucas). Applicants should be highly motivated, independent, and have an excellent academic record. Students already with scholarships will be prioritized, but having funding is not a requirement. Our laboratory focuses on using genetic analyses to learn more about the biology of small populations (usually of whales). More can be learned at www.frasierlab.ca<http://www.frasierlab.ca>. Interested applicants should submit a CV and brief letter (< 1 page) explaining their interest in pursuing a M.Sc. in general, and in this project in particular, to Tim Frasier (timothy.frasier@smu.ca). Thanks! -Tim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Timothy R.
