Requisition Number 03324-R

Opening Information

Job Status Full Time
Position Category Science/Research
Education Required Graduate Degree
Experience Required 1 – 3 Years
Position Description A postdoctoral position is available to characterize the role of plasmodesmata in plant development, focusing on cell to cell trafficking of the KNOTTED1/ STM class of homeodomain proteins and associated mRNAs. The position is funded for 3+ years, and the candidate should have experience in arabidopsis molecular genetics and/ or cell biology/ microscopy. Our lab uses state of the art developmental biology, imaging and genomic techniques to understand signaling in plant stem cell (meristem) development, using arabidopsis and maize as model systems. For further information, please and see our website, http://jacksonlab.cshl.edu/index.html .
