Post-Doctoral Fellow Positions
Department of Biology
Colorado State University
Advertisement
Medford Lab
Two post-doctoral positions are available in the Medford Lab in the
Department of Biology at Colorado State University. We have developed
synthetic signal transduction systems in plants and linked the
signaling systems to computationally designed receptors. Input allows
plants to be highly specific detectors for substances of interest
(environmental pollutants, explosives, etc.) and provides means to
control some forms of signal transduction for basic studies.
A Ph.D. in molecular biology, plant molecular biology or a related
field is required. Applicants should have experience in molecular
biology, gene cloning and analysis of transgenic plants. Experience
in transgene expression and signal transduction in plant systems as
well as skill in written and verbal communication is desirable. The
incumbents are expected to interact with other post-docs, graduate
students, and part-time undergraduate students. Duties include a
variety of molecular biology techniques including synthetic gene
construction, bacterial expression, production and analysis of
transgenic plants, planning experimental approaches based on research
literature, and interpreting results. The successful individuals will
be self-motivated and capable of independent thought and research.
The positions will start as soon as possible.
Colorado State University is located in Fort Collins, Colorado a city
of 120,000 located at the base of the Rocky Mountains about an hour
north of Denver. Colorado boasts 300+ sunny days a year and numerous
recreational activities exist from the nearby mountains such as world
class skiing and hiking.
