Master's project to help restore the American Elm !
Are you fascinated by genomics, conservation and cutting-edge research with real-world impact? We're looking for a motivated student to take part in an exciting Master's project to identify Dutch elm disease (DED)-resistant American elms (Ulmus americana) at Université Laval in Quebec City, Canada. This project, funded by Génome Québec in collaboration with the City of Québec, Natural Resources Canada and the Research Chair of Urban Trees and their Environment (CRAUM), is a unique opportunity to combine molecular biology, field work and urban forest pathology to help revive one of North America's most emblematic trees!
Information related to this Master's project is available here, in both French and English !
Thanks to all of our research partners and funders !
