style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">Applications are invited for a PhD Scholarship
available from September 2008 for a project in macroalgal taxonomy and
population genetics. The project will involve the use of a wide range of
techniques (classical and molecular) to contribute to the study of inter and
infra-specific relationships of six seaweed taxa of economic interest. The
candidate will use barcoding methods to delineate species limits. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He or she will investigate the genetic
resources of these target species by sampling natural populations located along
the coast of Brittany (Atlantic Ocean and English Channel). <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The student will also collaborate with
industrials who develop seaweed aquaculture in Brittany. The study will
serve as a PhD thesis at the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), France
and will be conducted at the Roscoff Marine Station, team EGPM, (Brittany,
France) and at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris, France). The
thesis will be supervised jointly by Prof. Christophe Destombe (Roscoff Marine
Station) and Dr. Line Le Gall (MNHN, Paris). The position is available for three
years.<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P></SPAN></P>
