Current Ph.D. candidate (anticipate my degree in Aug. 1997) is looking
for a the post-doctoral position. I have my expertise and interests
in working on projects, such as plant-microbe interactions, protein
biochemistry, signal transductions in plants, molecular genetics ...
Enclosed please find my CV. More information can be found @ my web
page: http://www.umbi.umd.edu/~lub/. Should you have such a position
in your lab, please feel free to contact me for more information.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
