Two postdoctoral positions, and a technician position, are
available immediately for NIH-funded studies of genes affecting tubule
structure and related to polycystic kidney disease in C. elegans (see
brief description at: http://www.cc.ukans.edu/~micro/buechner or our
recent paper in Dev. Biol. v.214, pp.227-241, '99). Experience in

organizational and communication skills, publication of previous work, and
support from the applicant's current adviser. Applicants with extensive
genetic experience with a model developmental biological organism,
(especially flies or worms), are preferred. Application materials include
a curriculum vitae and three letters of references.
For the technician position, a bachelor's degree in molecular
biology or related field is required, along with experience in molecular
biological techniques, and good organizational, written, and verbal
communication skills. A master's degree and previous experience in a
research laboratory is preferred. Application materials include a
