The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory is seeking applicants for a plant molecular biologist to conduct research in the area of genetic engineering of biosynthetic pathways in small grain cereal crops. The selected candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team working in this broad area. Significant experience in the areas of gene identification, cloning and sequencing, monocot transformation systems, and plasmid vector construction are required. Experience working with plant tissue culture and the proven ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team is strongly preferred. Expertise in plant carbohydrate biochemistry would be a plus.
Position is a twelve month appointment, potentially renewable annually for three years.
Due to security considerations U.S. citizenship is required for this position. The program for this year's Foro is included below. It is partly modeled on the Undergraduate Program at national ACS meetings. It emphasizes careers in chemistry, a graduate school fair, student poster sessions, new research areas, relationships with industry and social events. We are attempting to address such topics as well as to explore ways for scientists to collaborate in research projects.
