Baum" Newsgroups: bionet.celegans Subject: Postdoc Position in Molecular Plant Nematology Date: 16 Jun 1999 06:49:05 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 34 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Approved: wmorgan@acs.wooster.edu Distribution: world Message-ID: <7k8a0h$pli@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net A postoctoral position is available to work on the interaction of the sugarbeet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii) with Arabidopsis thaliana. The project initially deals with the characterization of identified A. thaliana genes that change expression around the infecting nematode. This gene characterization will use promoter studies, in situ hybridization, immunolocalization, and experiments targeted to alter expression of the gene-of-interest. Second, this position will have an increasing genetic component consisting of the characterization of A. thaliana mutants with altered susceptibility to the nematode. This genetic aspect will include preparing and analyzing double mutants for epistasis analyses and mapping of mutant loci. Applicants should have strong proven records in molecular biology, genetics, plant physiology, and techniques related to the projects described above. The annual salary will be $28,000 and the initial appointment will be for one year with a renewal for additional years desirable if mutually agreeable. Send your application containing a cover letter, reprints of relevant publications, your CV, and the contact addresses and phone numbers of three reference persons to Dr. Thomas Baum; Iowa State University; Department of Plant Pathology; 351 Bessey Hall; Ames, IA 50011.
