Full Description:
A postdoctoral fellow is needed to conduct experiments focused
on determining the function of genes related to fragrance and
taste. A Ph.D. in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry,
horticulture, plant science, biology, or related field is
required. Individuals must have experience in all aspects of
basic plant molecular biology, and must be well-suited to
working with several members in an interdisciplinary group.
Experience with biochemical techniques such as GC/GC-MS and HPLC
analysis is considered highly desirable. Previous experience
working with plant metabolism or a strong background in plant
physiology is considered a plus. Candidates should expect to
work in both greenhouse and multiple laboratory settings.
