Research Assistant Position

[Edward Bruggemann]

We have a one year research position available for a graduating senior 
who plans to take a year off before attending graduate school or medical 
school.  The research assistant would help with studies of Arabidopsis 
mutants that are defective in their developmental response to blue 
light.  The work would involve classical genetic techniques such as 
complementation and segregation analysis, as well as molecular techniques 
such as DNA and RNA isolation, Southern and Northern blotting, PCR, and 
DNA sequencing.  The salary would be approximately $16,000 per year.

Interested students should send a CV listing GPA, laboratory experience,
relevant course work with grades, career interests, and names and telephone
numbers of three references to:
