Plant Sciences Initiative at MSU - New Faculty Positions

Michigan State University seeks to hire three faculty members at the
Assistant or Associate Professor level who are using integrative and
molecular approaches such as functional genomics, proteomics,
bioinformatics, metabolic profiling, flux modeling or subcellular
imaging to study important problems in plant biology. Successful
candidates will also participate in undergraduate and/or graduate
teaching. We seek individuals exploring questions in plant
development, cellular organization, nutritional enhancement, response
to the environment, or host-pathogen interactions for the following
positions:

Assistant/Associate Professor jointly appointed between the
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB:
<>[Only registered users see links. ]) and the Department of Plant Biology (PLB:

support pending negotiation. For further information contact search
committee co-chairs: Dr. Christoph Benning (BMB; 517-355-1609;
[Only registered users see links. ]) and Dr. Katherine Osteryoung (PLB; 517-355-4685;
[Only registered users see links. ]).

Assistant/Associate Professor in Horticulture ([Only registered users see links. ]) with
the option of a joint appointment in Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology, Crop and Soil Sciences, Entomology, Forestry, Plant Biology
or Plant Pathology and potential for recurring research support
pending negotiation. For further information contact search

Michigan State University has a large and vibrant community of plant
biologists with research interests spanning all major areas in the
plant sciences. State-of-the-art analytical core facilities include
the Genomics Technology Support Facility, Macromolecular Structure,
Sequencing and Synthesis Facility, Mass Spectrometry/Proteomics
Facility and Center for Advanced Microscopy. Because of the
opportunity for synergistic appointments, we encourage applications
from candidates who are present or potential collaborators.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. and post-doctoral experience in relevant
areas. The application should include: cover letter (including
preferred position(s) or home department(s)), C.V., statement of
research interests and future directions, and three or more letters
of reference. Application materials for all positions should be
addressed to: Plant Sciences Initiative, c/o Ms. Julie Oesterle,
Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Michigan State
University, East Lansing MI 48824, USA. Review of application
materials will begin on December 10, 2003 and continue until suitable
candidates are identified.

MSU is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
