Interested applicants can apply through the doctoral program in Ecology & Evolution (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ecoevo/_program/phd-programs.php). Please note that it is expected that successful applicants in E&E will have reached out to a prospective adviser to discuss fit before applying. For more information about what that email should look like, visit: https://microbialgamut.com/join.html Our lab develops new computational tools to infer what microbes are doing and can do directly from genomic and metagenomic data (e.g., https://github.com/jlw-ecoevo/gRodon2), aiming to improve the representation of microbes in global biogeochemical models. Ongoing projects involve developing computational methods for microbial trait prediction... Negar Zamani (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
