Colleagues,
Please bring this opportunity to the attention of anyone you
know who might be interested. Thanks. TB
A postdoctoral position is available to study the biophysics of
cellulose synthesis. The project aims to apply high resolution and
single-molecule sensitive imaging techniques to characterize the
motility of the cellulose synthase. As material we will use intact
plants (established lines and new ones to be developed) and we are
particularly interested in using in vitro preparations to achieve
greater opportunities for experimental manipulation. The position
requires a Ph.D. in a relevant area of biology or biophysics and
preference will be given to candidates having experience with
purifying active protein complexes. The position is supported by an
NSF grant to Lori Goldner (Physics) and Tobias Baskin (Biology). The
Goldner lab uses single-molecule-sensitive
physical and optical tools to study the dynamics and interactions of
biomolecules and bio-molecular complexes. The Baskin lab studies the
role of cellulose in growth. The University of Massachusetts Amherst
is an Equal Opportunity Employer and we encourage all qualified
persons to apply. To apply, please send your cv to
[hidden email]. More information about our respective labs can
be found at
http://people.umass.edu/lgoldner and
http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/baskin. Please feel free to contact
either of us for more information.
