A postdoctoral position is available to study the relation
between cell wall structure and morphogenesis. The project uses the
emerging model grass, Brachypodium distachyon, and both forward and
reverse genetic approaches. The forward genetic approach will be a
screen for mutants with aberrant root morphology; the reverse genetic
approach will be to inactivate genes that are known to be important
in other species. The position requires a Ph.D. in a relevant area of
biology and preference will be given to candidates having experience
with any of the following: developmental genetics; cell wall
analysis; microscopy. The Baskin lab participates actively in the
University of Massachusetts-Amherst Interdisciplinary Program in
Plant Biology and also in a new cluster of scientists on campus
working on B. distachyon. The University of Massachusetts is an Equal
Opportunity Employer and I encourage all qualified persons to apply.
To apply, please send your cv to baskin from bio.umass.edu. Check

information about my lab and feel free to contact me for more
