About the Department of Genetics at NCSU...The Department of Genetics is one of five basic science departments within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at NCSU. The Department is approaching its fiftieth year and has long been recognized internationally for its faculty strengths in quantitative, population, evolutionary, molecular and developmental genetics. Traditionally strong in research and graduate education, we have held graduate training grants in plant genetics and quantitative genetics, and have trained a large number of graduates who have gone on to highly successful careers in academia, industry and government. Currently the Department is strengthening its commitment to undergraduate education, including developing new curricula and establishing an undergraduate major in Genetics. The Department is comprised of a core of 20 full-time faculty members, several of whom have international reputations in evolutionary and molecular genetics. The Department is among the best-funded departments in the College and over the past 5 years, our faculty has received millions of dollars in research funds from NIH, NSF, USDA, and private foundations. Moreover, the Department provides a key integrative role at NCSU and we have an additional 19 associate and adjunct members. Associate faculty members have their tenure home in other departments, including Forestry , Food Science , Plant Biology , Plant Pathology , Entomology , Molecular and Structural Biochemistry , Zoology , Crop Science and Animal Science , but may teach courses and train graduate students within Genetics. This arrangement provides for a highly diverse and dynamic teaching and research faculty. The Genetics Department is housed in a newly-remodeled building with ample space for research and teaching. We have a well-developed genomics and bioinformatics infrastructure and are next door to a large vertebrate animal research facility and a phytotron for environmentally controlled experiments. In addition, there are ample greenhouse and experimental farm facilities.
