RA-11-016-H, in the Ames USDA-ARS Corn Insects and Crop Genetics Research Unit: http://federalgovernmentjobs.us/jobs/Research-Plant-Biologist-Postdoctoral-R esearch-Associate-2085367.html If you know of recent PhDs with strong backgrounds in molecular plant biology or virology who may be looking for postdoc positions, please encourage them to apply. The person will evaluate several viruses with potential for virus-mediated transformation systems in the legumes. The work will involve tracking viruses and their protein products to determine virus locations relative to reproductive meristems; and also design and testing of constructs to be carried by the viruses. To be employed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with ARS, applicants must be a citizen from a country listed on the following link:? http://www.afm.ars.usda.gov/hrd/jobs/VISA/countries.htm The position will be open until filled; however, I plan to begin evaluating applications in January.
