Position Description
A one-year postdoctoral position is available to study the
regulation of axonemal motion in Chlamydomonas. The project involves two
approaches; classical and molecular genetic analysis of mutants defective
in regulation, and biochemical analysis of nucleotide binding sites on
dynein ATPases.
A brief description of current research in the laboratory may be found at:

Requirements
Ph. D. in cellular biosciences (e.g., cell biology, biochemistry,
microbiology) with experience in cellular and biochemical studies
MS with several years of pertinent experience may also be considered.
Strong background in biochemical procedures and/or classical and molecular
genetic techniques with Chlamydomonas is necessary.
Experience with microcomputers for image/data analysis desirable,
preferably Macintosh.
Previous experience with dynein or eukaryotic flagella desirable.
Salary commensurate with experience.
