Graduate Research Assistantship, Plant Breeding for Drought Tolerance A graduate research assistantship is available beginning in spring of 2010 for study leading to a Ph.D. degree in plant breeding and genetics, with an emphasis on drought tolerance in wheat. The student will be part of a regional team involving plant breeders, geneticists, and physiologists at Colorado State University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Oklahoma State University, whose goal is to improve abiotic stress tolerance in winter wheat in the semi-arid Great Plains. The ideal candidate will have academic training and/or experience in plant breeding, plant physiology, molecular markers, and statistical analysis and an interest in teaching. The assistantship provides $21,000 per year stipend plus tuition. Because of funding constraints, the assistantship is limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
