Postdoctoral Position in Pollen Wall Formation

A postdoctoral position is available in the Dobritsa lab at the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. We are investigating molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of exine, the remarkable outer wall of pollen grains, using Arabidopsis exine mutants as a starting point (Dobritsa et al. (2011) Plant Physiol. 157: 947-970).

The successful candidate will have a PhD in plant biology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry or related discipline and have strong skills in molecular genetics, advanced microscopy, or biochemistry, and strong publication record.

Please send the following materials to Anna Dobritsa (dobritsa.1@osu.edu): 1) CV and contact information for 3 references; 2) cover letter explaining your research interests and career goals, what research questions you would like to work on, what skills you can contribute, and what training you hope to gain in our lab.
