The Brauer lab (https://brauerlab.weebly.com/) at Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada in Ottawa is recruiting students to study the molecular mechanisms of pathogen resistance in plants. Our focus is on understanding bacterial and fungal interactions with barley to improve resistance against agriculturally-relevant diseases. Students will benefit from training in federal research labs in genetics, bioinformatics and crop physiology as well as from coursework at the University of Ottawa. Support for travel to conferences will also available. Please contact Dr. Brauer for more information (elizabeth.brauer@agr.gc.ca).
