[Arabidopsis] Postdoc Position

[sunxx114 from umn.edu]

Applicants are invited for a postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. 
Min Ni at the University of Minnesota, starting date soon or negotiable. 
Experience in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and biochemistry 
will be a plus. Our lab is currently focused on two separate research 
areas: light-regulated de-etiolation and stomatal opening response and 
Arabidopsis seed development. We have identified and characterized a few 
key regulators involved in these processes. We aim to study their actions 
and interactions with other components in these signaling pathways by using 
a variety of tools in molecular genetics, molecular biology, and 
biochemistry. The successful applicant will also have an opportunity to 
characterize a few more mutants, to clone the mutated genes from these 
mutants, and to identify additional components in the systems. For further 
information, please visit our web site
