Post-Doctoral Position at Yale University

[S.P. Dinesh-Kumar]

PostDoctoral Position

Dissection of Signal Transduction Pathways of Host-Pathogen
Interactions

Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale
University



A postdoctoral position is available to study signaling in plant-microbe
interactions.  We are using combined genetic and molecular approaches
in the model plant system <italic>Arabidopsis</italic> and crop plants
tomato and tobacco to:

1) gain insight into how plant resistance genes mediated signal
transduction pathways lead to hypersensitive response (localized cell
death), restriction of pathogen spread and systemic acquired resistance
(Science 276:726-733) and

2) study viral pathogenesis.
