[Arabidopsis] postdoc position open

[Tobias Baskin]

Arabidobsters -- don't be shocked -- this position is for work on 
Brachypodium distachyon. Universality through diversity! Thanks. TB

A postdoctoral position is available to study the relation between 
cell wall structure and morphogenesis. The project uses the emerging 
model grass, Brachypodium distachyon, and both forward and reverse 
genetic approaches. The forward genetic approach will be a screen for 
mutants with aberrant root morphology; the reverse genetic approach 
will be to inactivate genes that are known to be important in other 
species. The position requires a Ph.D. in a relevant area of biology 
and preference will be given to candidates having experience with any 
of the following: developmental genetics; cell wall analysis; 
microscopy. The Baskin lab participates actively in the University of 
Massachusetts-Amherst Interdisciplinary Program in Plant Biology and 
also in a new cluster of scientists on campus working on B. 
distachyon. The University of Massachusetts is an Equal Opportunity 
Employer and I encourage all qualified persons to apply. To apply, 
please send your cv to baskin from bio.umass.edu. Check

information about my lab and feel free to contact me for more 
information.
