	Faculty Positions in Plant Biology

The MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory (PRL) has two tenure-track 
faculty positions available at the Assistant Professor level. The 
specific areas of research are not defined, but candidates should 
plan to employ optimal technologies to investigate important unsolved 
problems in plant biology.  We are especially interested in 
identifying individuals whose expertise complements that of the 
existing faculty and who are studying problems that are unique to 
plants or where plant systems offer particular advantages.

The PRL, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, provides an 
excellent environment for creative research in plant biology.  Modern 
laboratory space, set-up funds, and continuing research support will 
be provided.  Michigan State University, with unusual breadth and 
depth in the plant sciences, provides a stimulating atmosphere with 
excellent colleagues and facilities.  PRL faculty members are jointly 
appointed in an appropriate academic department. 

Applicants should have postdoctoral research experience with 
demonstrated productivity and evidence of potential for independent 
research. Women and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. 
To assure consideration, applications should be received by June 1, 
2002. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a summary of 
research accomplishments, and a brief description of future plans. 
Candidates should arrange to have three letters of reference sent to 
the search committee. All materials should be sent to:
