Postdoctoral Position

University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin (New)

A postdoctoral position is available immediately to investigate the 
molecular structure of plant centromeres.  A repetitive DNA element 
which is conserved in distantly related plant species has been cloned 
recently in my lab.  Research projects will  involve cloning, 
sequencing, and mapping this element and new centromere-related DNA 
sequences.  The organization and structure of such sequences will be 
analyzed at both molecular and cellular levels.  Background in 
molecular biology and laboratory skills of DNA manipulation are 
required.  Research experiences on protein and/or large insert genomic 
DNA libraries (YAC, BAC) are helpful.  The person is expected to 
interact actively with the scientists in the two Arabidopsis labs in 
the same building.  Salary will be about $25,500/year depending on 
experiences.  Send curriculum vitae, brief statement of experience and 
goals, and names, addresses, and phone numbers of three references to:
