POSTDOCTORAL POSITION in Functional Genomics of Glucosinolate Metabolism

A postdoctoral position is open to study the molecular networks that 
regulate glucosinolate metabolism in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. 
This project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study 
key aspects of molecular networks regulating glucosinolate metabolism 
using multidisciplinary approaches including reverse genetics, molecular 
biology, biochemistry, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics.
The postdoctoral associates will be responsible for testing perturbation 
of glucosinolate metabolism, investigating molecular changes at protein 
and metabolite levels, correlating the changes and constructing networks 
using bioinformatics tools. The associate is expected to receive 
multidisciplinary training, work closely with collaborators in different 
areas, and be involved in the outreach activities of the project, such 
as educating high school teachers in the area of functional genomics. 
Applicants are expected to have a strong publication record and 
demonstrated expertise in one or more of these areas: gel- and/or liquid 
chromatography-based proteomics, plant molecular biology, functional 
genomics, metabolite profiling and metabolomics, and/or systems biology. 
Experience with protein or metabolite separation/purification and mass 
spectrometry would be an advantage.
Applicants should send a cover letter, a statement of research interests 
and a CV including the names and contact information of three references 
to: Dr. Sixue Chen, Department of Biology, University of Florida, PO Box 
118526, Gainesville, FL 32610, Email: schen from ufl.edu. More information

filled. We encourage applications from individuals of diverse 
backgrounds.  University of Florida is committed to affirmative action, 
equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.
