A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Nigel Crawford in
the Division of Biology at Univ. of California at San Diego to work on
regulatory networks that control nitrogen metabolism in Arabidopsis. The
research will focus on the signal transduction pathways and regulatory
genes that control nitrate uptake and reduction using molecular genetic
approaches and that incorporate microarray analyses. An initial microarray
analysis of nitrate-induced genes has been published from our lab showing
novel regulatory and signal transduction genes that are responsive to nitrate:
Wang, R., K. Guegler, S.T. LaBrie and N.M. Crawford (2000) Genomic analysis
of a nutrient response in Arabidopsis reveals diverse expression patterns
and novel metabolic and potential regulatory genes that are induced by
nitrate. Plant Cell 12: 1491-1510

Position will start early Fall, 2001. Candidates should have a Ph.D. and
first-authored publications in internationally recognized journals. To
apply, please email a CV, statement of research experience and names of
three references (please include email, address and phone number) to
ncrawford at ucsd.edu.
