A postdoctoral position is available to conduct research on plant gene induction in response to insect damage. The candidate will participate in a functional genomics project, carried out in collaboration with the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, aimed at genetic characterization of Medicago truncatula. The research project could involve differential screening via subtracted libraries or microarrays, gene isolation and characterization, and gene expression in transgenic plants. A Ph.D. with experience in the area of plant molecular biology and proficiency in techniques of molecular biology are required. Desirable skills include experience in differential screening techniques, transgene construction, and computer analysis of gene sequence and expression data.
Salary is commensurate with experience.
