Post-doctoral Positions in Sorghum Mapping and Molecular Breeding
Two post-doctoral research associate positions are available in June 1998
or when suitable candidates are identified. Research projects include (1)
development of marker-assisted selection to combine drought and insect
resistance in sorghum, and (2) testing methods for detection and
introgression of novel QTLs from exotic germplasm to enhance yield and
stress adaptation in sorghum. Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree with
experience in RFLP and PCR-based marker technology. Successful candidates
will join a research team working on QTLs and candidate genes for drought
resistance, molecular breeding and comparative mapping in cereal crops.
