Two postdoctoral positions are available to work on peanut molecular biology. The successful candidates will conduct research on the molecular biology of drought and disease resistance, and improving protein quality of peanut. Major goals will include identifying molecular markers for disease and drought resistance, cloning methionine-rich protein gene, and transformation of peanut. The appointees will be expected to have demonstrated experience in modern molecular biology techniques, which may include mRNA isolation and in vitro translation, southern and northern hybridization, RT-PCR, gene cloning/vector construction, screening cDNA library using polyclonal antibodies, DNA sequencing and related techniques, to detect, describe and manage the behavior of the genes. The laboratory is fully equipped with necessary instrumentation and supplies for the above research. A Ph.D. in plant science with extensive knowledge and experience in plant molecular biology is required. Applicants must submit a letter of application describing research and career interests and experience, resume, transcripts and three references to Dr. Mehboob B.
