>POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE
>Molecular/Cell Biology of Green Algae
>> A Postdoctoral Research Associate position will be available July 1,
>1996 at the University of Texas at Austin. The appointment is for two
>years, with the possibility of extension, pending future support. The
>starting salary will be from $24,000 to $25,000 depending on prior
>experience. A competitive benefits package includes health benefits for
>the postdoc (and family) and retirement. The project aims at
>characterizing novel extrachromosomal DNA from giant-celled marine green
>algae, and exploring the use of this DNA for constructing shuttle/
>transformation vectors. Techniques currently being used include DNA/RNA
>isolation, nucleotide sequencing, hybridization methods (Southern and
>northern blotting), molecular cloning, PCR and so on.
>> Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) or be able to demonstrate
>that they have completed all the requirements for a Ph.D. prior to taking
>the position. Having a competent working ability in the abovementioned
>(and related) techniques is highly desirable. Experience working with
>marine algae is also useful, but not required. The role of the
>postdoctoral associate in this project is a pivotal one; the postdoc
>interacts routinely with myself and two graduate students. Interested
>persons should send a cover letter and curriculum vita (and also arrange to
>have three letters of recommendation be sent) to: Dr. John W. La Claire,
>Department of Botany, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX
>78713-7640. Informal inquiries about this position can be E-mailed to:
