Plant metabolism and metabolic engineering at MSU

Opportunities: seeking Postdoctoral researchers

    Post doctoral associates

In the next 6-18 months we intend to recruit several highly qualified post-doctoral researchers for ongoing projects in the groups described below. Candidates with experience and a keen interest in studying metabolism using modern methods of molecular biology (transgenics, genomics, expression profiling) and analysis (NMR, mass spectrometry, metabolic flux analysis) are encouraged to apply. For further information about Plant Metabolism research at MSU see www.PlantMetabolism.MSU.EDU. Enquiries and applications should be sent to Metabpdf@nmsu.edu or to: The Plant Metabolism group, 166 Plant Biology Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1312, USA. Applications should include a CV and the names and email addresses of 3 referees.
