A large, multifaceted plant biotechnology group requires additional Research
workers at all levels. We research transgenes, mutants, DNA marker
technologies, functional and structural genomics in soybeans, corn and
Arabidopsis. Postdoctoral Fellowships, Researcher III (2), Researcher
II (2), Researcher I (2-4) and Graduate student position (2-4) in Plant
Biotechnology are available and as needed. Researchers appointments
will be made for one year with potential for two additional years, subject
to satisfactory progress.

Researcher II's: Job Title: Multiple
Researcher II in Plant Biotechnology
Job Duties:
Research (variable time). Responsibilities will include
assisting in all phases of a research program to apply molecular
biotechnology to the improvement of plants (soybean, corn,
etc). Applying genetic markers for selection in a soybean
genetics program. Must be able to work independently.
Work will include protein analysis; laboratory work; data
collection; statistical analysis, the organization of workshops for
breeders to demonstrate techniques and the preparation of
publications. Supervision of Research I's, graduate assistants
and undergraduate student workers will be required.
