LOOKING FOR A POSTDOC IN N-fixation/METAL TOXICITY

 	LOOKING FOR A POSTDOC POSITION IN METAL TOXICITY IN PLANTS OR
	IN NITROGEN FIXATION BY LEGUMES

Greetings:

 May I take this opportunity to introduce myself as S.Denduluri of Dept. of 
Biology, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St.John's, Canada. As I am 
finishing very very soon my second Ph.D , I am looking for a Postdoc 
position either in "Heavy metal Toxicity in Plants" (My first Ph.D) or in 
Nitrogen fixation by legumes (Second Ph.D).

 My academic background and seven 
years of experience include a M.Sc in "Cytogenetics" a M.Phil in 
"microbiology" and a Ph.D in "Physiology and Biochemistry". During that period 
I was exposed to various physiological and biochemical techniques. Basically, 
I was involved in the estimation  of certain enzymes and proteins besides study
ing various physiological aspects of plants exposed to metal stress.

At present I am finishing my second Ph.D in "Cell Biology" at Memorial 
University, St.John's, Canada on "Differentiation of nitrogen-fixing 
nodules of Sesbania (legume weed plant) with special reference to oleosomes 
(lipid bodies)".  All the course and research 
requrements towards this degree have been completed. Areas like 
Biochemistry (enzyme assay), Cytology and Histochemistry are involved in 
this work. I was also exposed to handle HPLC and Gas chromatography. 
Currently some papers are in progress to submit to International Journals.
