RESEARCH ASSOCIATE / TECHNICIAN

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS, GA



I anticipate hiring one research associate/ technician with

a start date of July 1, 1999.  My laboratory conducts

research in evolutionary and ecological genetics in plants,

particularly natural populations of Arabidopsis species.

Major responsibilities will include isolating and analyzing

DNA, conducting crosses, assisting in field experiments

and generally maintaining and supervising the laboratory.


Qualifications are an undergraduate degree in Biology or related

field with 1 or more undergraduate or graduate courses in

genetics, and some research experience.  Experience with

PCR and molecular biology protocols is desired but not

necessary.  Salary will be commensurate with experience.


I would prefer to hire a recently graduated undergraduate

who is interested in working in an academic setting for at

least a year before starting graduate school.


The working conditions, intellectual atmosphere, and facilities

in Genetics at Georgia are excellent.  Athens is a lovely and

inexpensive place in which to live with all of the advantages of

and culture of a 200 year-old university town.  You may wish

to look at the Department of Genetics' web site at:

www.genetics.uga.edu.


Application deadline is June 1, 1999, or until a suitable

candidate is found.
