Postdoctoral Positions in Cytokinin Signal Transduction
Full Description:
Postdoctoral positions are currently available in the laboratory of
Dr. G. Eric Schaller (Dartmouth College) to work on USDA and NSF
funded projects in cytokinin signal transduction. The USDA project
focuses on the role of the type-B response regulators, which act in
the final step of the cytokinin signaling pathway to regulate the
transcriptional response to cytokinin. The NSF 2010 project focuses
on defining the network of interactions by which cytokinin regulates
plant growth and development, and includes the analysis of additional
transcription factors as well as proteins interacting with the
primary signaling pathway. Opportunities exist to extend research
from Arabidopsis into rice. Opportunities also exist to participate
in a multi-institutional collaborative research environment, as we
share periodic group meetings with the Kieber lab of North Carolina.
Successful applicants should be highly motivated, be capable of
working independently, and have a relevant PhD. Experience in some or
all of the following disciplines is desirable: genetics in model
systems, molecular biology, and/or biochemistry. I will be available
to discuss these projects at the ASPB meeting in Chicago and the
IPGSA meeting in Mexico.
