Applications are invited for a 3 year postdoctoral research post, 
funded by the AFRC, to work on molecular variation and the 
genetics of host specificity in Peronospora parasitica , a 
biotrophic 
fungal pathogen of crucifers.  The project will use RAPDs and 
RFLPs to fingerprint isolates from different host species and map 
pathogen genes of interest.  The postdoctoral scientist will join a 
small team working on the genetics of downy mildew fungi, but 
will also interact with the Plant Molecular Biology research 
group. 
Experience in appropriate molecular techniques is essential.  The 
salary will be on the RA 1A scale. 

Applications, including a cv. and the names of two referees 
should 
be sent ASAP to Dr. John Lucas, Department of Life Science, 
University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD.  Further details can be 
obtained from either Dr. Zoe Wilson (0602 513235) or Dr. John
