The Schwartz lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University is looking to recruit a PhD student to join our lab in Fall, 2023. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated students interested in genomic responses to stress, particularly in the areas of epigenomics, gene expression, and DNA damage repair. Specifically, we are interested in how genetic, cellular and organismal stress responses are linked and testing the new Damage-Fitness Model. This project is supported by a NSF IOS award to Haruka Wada, Tonia Schwartz, Todd Steury, and Vinamra Agrawal.
Interested applicants should contact Tonia Schwartz. Please include in the email your CV, an overview of your research interests, GPA, and a description of past research experiences in genomics/genomics, physiology and/or cell biology. Please feel free to contact Tonia if you have any further questions about the funded project, the application process, and/or the graduate program at Auburn University.
