Life Sciences 1b: Genetics, Genomics, and Evolution

Course Description:

Life Sciences 1B is an interdisciplinary course designed to teach genetics and genomics in an evolutionary framework. The course is taught during the spring semester at the introductory level and most students are freshmen. We take an integrated approach, showing how evolution and genetics are intimately related and how genomics provides tools to analyze case studies of human disease, normal variation, and evolution.

TFs must also attend lectures (Tue & Thurs 1:30-2:45 pm), staff meetings (Thurs, time TBD) and training (one week in Jan, TBD). Additional duties include helping with exams. TFs are compensated $11,350.00 (post-docs and G3+) or $10,116.00 (G1 or G2, and some TAs) per section taught for the semester.
