POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY
A 3-year Post-Doctoral Position (with the option of a 2-year
extension) is immediately available at the Heinrich-Heine-University
Dusseldorf (Germany) in the Institute of Plant Molecular and
Developmental Biology. The appointee is expected to carry out
research on the Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) of maize. Prime
objectives are to identify candidate genes for NUE by gene expression
profiling and to characterize the structure of interesting candidate
genes and their alleles. The project is a collaboration between the
University of Hohenheim (Prof. Geiger, Institute of Plant Breeding,
Seed Science, and Population Genetics) and a German seed company and
is under the auspices of the French-German EUREKA programme
(CEREQUAL).
The successful applicant should hold a Ph.D. or doctoral degree in
plant mole-cular biology or related fields. Review of applicants will
begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Applications including a Curriculum Vitae, a list of publications and
the addresses of two referees should be submitted no later than three
weeks after publication of this advertisement to:
