postdoc position

[Philip W Becraft]

A postdoctoral position is available to participate in a 
multi-institutional maize genome project. The goal of the project is 
to identify and clone genes important for maize endosperm development 
using a high throughput gene cloning strategy that will be developed 
as part of the project. There will be outstanding opportunities for 
the development of independent research projects. Iowa State 
University provides an excellent research environment and is home to 
other genome projects in maize, soybean and swine. The lab is 
affiliated with the Plant Genomics Center in the newly established 
Plant Sciences Institute 
(http://www.plantsciences.iastate.edu/homepage.html). Strong 
molecular biology skills, experience in cDNA library construction and 
excellent organizational skills are required. Starting salary is 
$35,800 plus benefits. Send CV, list of publications, and contact 
information for 3 references to Phil Becraft, Dept. of Zoology &
