A USDA-NRI supported postdoctoral position (or possibly two) is
available for the study of Ustilago maydis morphogenesis and
pathogenicity. Genetic and/or molecular biological approaches are being
employed to identify genes involved in these processes. U. maydis is a
highly tractable system and its host, maize, is one of the best studied
genetic systems in plants. The laboratory is located in Athens, Georgia
in the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Georgia. The
University of Georgia has an exceptionally strong set of programs
related to fungal genetics and mycological research which will aid
interested researchers. Motivated, team oriented researchers are
encouraged to apply. The position is available for a minimum of 2 years.
