Graduate Studies in Genomics at the New York Botanical Garden

The Plant Genomics Consortium at The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG)
seeks graduate students interested in National Science Foundation
funded evolutionary plant genomics research program. The Consortium
is a multidisciplinary group composed of scientists from NYBG, New
York University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the American
Museum of Natural History. We are using genomic approaches to
understand the molecular basis of evolution and development in
ancient, living seed plants including cycads, ginkgo, and non-seed
plants such as Selaginella. The future student will have the
opportunity to engage in research to examine the origins and
diversification of genes and how these changes led to the appearance
of unique and important structures. The student will have the
opportunity to gain expertise in Botany, Development, Molecular
Genetics and Genomics and Bioinformatics. Research will be conducted
in the new Pfizer Plant Genomics Research Building. For more
