Greetings,
	Please bring this to the attention of anyone who might want 
to apply. Thanks. Tobias

A postdoctoral position is available to study the relation between 
cell wall structure and morphogenesis. The project uses the emerging 
model grass, Brachypodium distachyon. We are characterizing a set of 
mutants with aberrant root morphology and we are inactivating genes 
that are known in other species to be important for expansion 
anisotropy. Finally we are also imaging the cell wall at high 
resolution with SEM. The position requires a Ph.D. in a relevant area 
of biology and preference will be given to candidates having 
experience with either molecular genetics of grasses or 
ultrastructure (especially AFM or high resolution-SEM). The Baskin 
lab participates actively in the University of Massachusetts-Amherst 
Interdisciplinary Program in Plant Biology and also in a cluster of 
campus scientists on 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 http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/baskin/ 
for (somewhat outdated) information about my lab and feel free to 
contact me for more information.
