			LOOKING FOR POSTDOC POSITION 


Greetings:

I am looking for a Postdoctoral Position . My academic background and seven 
years of experience include a M.Sc in "Cytogenetics and Plant Breeding of 
Crops" a M.Phil and a Ph.D in "Plant Physiology and Biochemistry". The 
research work for the M.Phil was on "Toxicity of lead and its interaction 
with chelating agents in soil-plant systems" and for first doctorate degree 
was on "Effects of lead, manganese and chelating agents on some vegetable 
crops". During that period I was exposed to various physiological and 
biochemical techniques. Basically, I was involved in the estimation and 
purification of certain enzymes and proteins besides studying various 
physiological aspects of plants exposed to metal and water stresses and 
accumulation of metal ions in various plant parts. 

At present I am finishing my second Ph.D in "Cell Biology" at Memorial 
University, St.John's, Canada on "Role of lipid bodies in nitrogen fixing 
nodules of Sesbania, a legumious weed plant. 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. If 
anyone is interested I have included a copy of my publication list and if 
furhter information is required, I can be reached by phone (709)-737-4418 (
office) or 709-722-6660 (residence) or

e-mail    dsrinivas at kean.ucs.mun.ca

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
