Genevieve Kozak, PhD

An advanced research project in an advanced student's field of general interest conducted under the supervision of an appropriate staff member, in the form of independent research leading to the solution of a problem. (Hours will be arranged)

Genetics applied to biological conservation. Conservation of biodiversity and threatened species are informed and aided by using genetic and genomic information. Successful understanding and application of genetic tools to conservation requires understanding population genetic theory and the evolutionary processes by which species go extinct. This course will cover both conceptual background and the utility of genetic approaches to conservation problems

Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature culminating in an original contribution to the scholarly research literature of Integrative Biology. Doctoral research contributes to the student's dissertation and should be presented at major conferences and ultimately published in refereed journals. A written dissertation must be completed and defended in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School and the Integrative Biology PhD Program.
