POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN ARABIDOPSIS DISEASE RESISTANCE
Jane Glazebrook Laboratory
Department of Plant Biology
University of Minnesota
St. Paul, Minnesota, USA 55108
A post-doctoral scientist is needed to study genetics of
disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Part of the project involves
study of genes required for resistance to the fungal necrotroph Alternaria
brassicicola. Another part of the project involves investigation of the
effects of cell wall alterations on resistance to various pathogens. The
work provides opportunities to develop and enhance skills in genetics,
molecular biology, and computational biology. Interested scientists may
also participate in programs to develop teaching skills. The position is
available beginning September 1, 2008, and is funded for three years.
The University of Minnesota provides excellent research and educational
opportunities. The successful applicant will be based primarily in the
Center for Microbial and Plant Genomics on the St. Paul campus and will have
convenient access to a diverse array of modern facilities. The Twin Cities
area is often cited as providing one of the highest qualities of life among
major US cities. Diverse cultural and recreational activities are readily
available.
Applicants should have a PhD and strong molecular biology and quantitative
skills. To apply for this position, submit a curriculum vita (resumé), a
letter describing your research interests and experience and the names and
addresses of three references. The University of Minnesota is committed to
the policy that all persons shall have equal access to its programs,
facilities, and employment.
