POSITION:
Postdoctoral
Position A
postdoctoral position is available beginning September 1, 2008
in the Department of Plant Sciences and the Seed Biotechnology
Center at the University of
California, Davis.
The functional genomics project
will fine-map genes associated with a QTL regulating temperature
sensitivity of lettuce seed germination.
The role of a candidate gene
encoding an enzyme in the ABA biosynthetic pathway will be
specifically tested through silencing and mutation strategies.
Global gene expression patterns will be analyzed by microarray
and multiplexed PCR assays.
Experience in vector construction,
transgenics, genetic mapping and microarray analysis preferred.
