If so you are encouraged to apply to The Plant Sciences Program in the Department of Biology at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The program is a graduate-level training curriculum that unites the diverse fields of plant biology and synergistic disciplines such as structural biology, biochemistry, genetics, bioinformatics, computer sciences, statistics and ethics. The Department of Biology has a strong group of molecular plant biologists. Several faculty work in the area of Plant Molecular Genetics and Development, creating a diverse research and training environment. Areas of particular concentration among the molecular and cellular biologists include plant-pathogen interactions (Dangl, Grant, Matthysse), signal transduction (Jones, Kieber, Reed), genome dynamics (Copenhaver) and development (Liljigren). The Department also has strength in whole system plant biology and plant evolution. Dr. Gensel utilizes Devonian fossils to understand the overall patterns of evolutionary change, while Dr. Vision uses sequenced genomes. Both Dr. White and Peet are interested in the composition and dynamics of ecosystems. Detailed descriptions of faculty research interests can be found at: http://www.bio.unc.edu/PlantBiology/plantbiologyfaculty.htm. In addition interactions with plant biologists from Duke, NC State, and companies like Syngenta, Paradigm Genetics, Bayer, and BASF make the wider Research Triangle area an especially stimulating environment. To apply for the Plant Science Program please follow the instructions for the Department of Biology application process found at: http://www.bio.unc.edu/graduate/MCDB/admissions.htm. --- .
