Graduate research assistantship - Root Functional Genomics
A research assistantship is available to support graduate studies
toward a Ph.D. degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Research will be focused on characterization of gene expression
profiles in the roots of an ABA-deficient maize mutant, vp14, under
drought conditions. This research is supported by a grant from the
National Science Foundation. The project is a collaboration between
the laboratories of Prof. Robert Sharp (SharpR at missouri.edu) and
Prof. Henry Nguyen. Interested students should submit a statement of
professional goal and research interest, a resume which includes
contact information for three references, GRE/TOEFL scores, and
college transcripts to:
Dr. Henry T. Nguyen, MSMC Endowed Professor of Genetics and
Biotechnology, Department of Agronomy, Plant Sciences Unit, 1-87
