RESEARCH MICROBIOLOGISTS
Two highly motivated scientists are required for the Rumen Microbiology Unit at
AgResearch's Grasslands Research Centre, Palmerston North, New Zealand. The two
postdoctoral researchers will have responsibility for identifying and monitoring
microbes responsible for anaerobic transformations of fatty acids in the rumen. The
study will apply culture and DNA/RNA probe technologies and the determination of
microbial interactions and dietary factors affecting fatty acid transformations will
be a key part of the study.
The successful applicants will be microbiologists with recent experience in a range
of molecular biology and biochemical techniques, with good publication records, and
with good communication skills. For further information contact Dr KN Joblin at Fax
64-6-3518003 or Email joblink at agresearch.cri.nz
These 2-year appointments will start as soon as possible. There is a firm
possibility of extension by a further 2-years and career establishment. Send CV and
names of two referees to joblink at agresearch.cri.nz by August 6,1999.
