Postdoctoral position

[Estelle Hrabak]

Postdoctoral Research Associate
Plant Signal Transduction
University of New Hampshire

A NSF-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to study 
subcellular localization and protein-protein interactions of 
calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) and related kinases in 
Arabidopsis.  Subcellular localization will be determined using 
transgenic plants expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions 
and confocal microscopy.  Kinase-interacting proteins will be 
identified by yeast two-hybrid screens.  A Ph.D. in plant science, 
plant molecular genetics, or a related discipline is required. 
Experience with recombinant DNA techniques, production of transgenic 
plants, yeast two-hybrid assays, and confocal microscopy are 
desirable.  The successful applicant will have excellent written and 
oral communication skills.  The position is funded for two years 
contingent on satisfactory performance.

The University of New Hampshire is located in the picturesque 
Seacoast area of New Hampshire -one hour from Boston and about 2 
hours from the White Mountains.   UNH is an equal opportunity 
employer.
