Postdoctoral position in plant lipid signaling

Postdoctoral Fellow
Position number: PB-S095-440

The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation is seeking a postdoctoral fellow in
the laboratory of Dr. Elison Blancaflor beginning in June, 2008 to work
on characterizing the role of the N-acylethanolamine (NAE) group of
lipid mediators in plant development and response to environmental
stimuli. Studies will focus on Arabidopsis mutants in genes that encode
fatty acid amide hydrolases (FAAH), the enzymes that breakdown NAEs.
This project which is funded by the Department of Energy (DOE)
Biosciences program will be conducted in collaboration with the group of
Dr. Kent Chapman at the University of North Texas. This project is
funded annually with extensions up to a total of three years contingent
on performance and continued funding by the DOE. For more information

Teaster et al. (2007) Plant Cell 19:2454-2469. A Ph.D. in Plant Biology
or Cell/Molecular Biology is required. The Samuel Roberts Noble
Foundation has state-of-the-art research, greenhouse facilities, modern
laboratory and office areas and excellent benefits.
