LINKAGE MAP OF SEABASS

[Filip Volckaert]

POSTDOC 
LINKAGE MAP OF SEABASS 

A 18 month postdoctoral fellowship in fish genomics funded by the 
European Union is available at the Fish Genetics Group (Dr. Filip 
Volckaert) of the Laboratory of Aquatic Ecology. The main goal is 
the construction of a linkage map of sea bass (Dicentrarchus 
labrax) based on microsatellite markers.  The immediate task 
involves the screening of a library for microsatellite markers, the 
development of primers, locus testing and screening of reference 
families.  The results will be combined with parallel projects on a 
linkage and synteny map of sea bass. A fully equipped DNA lab, 
including a LiCor automatic sequencer, is available.  The 
successful candidate will have a strong background in molecular 
genetics and if possible has experience with marker development 
and mapping.  Leuven is an historical university city with a high and 
pleasant standard of living. Start date: fall 2001.   

If interested, send a cover letter (including research interests and 
goals) and Curriculum Vitae before 25 July 2000 to:
