Two postdoctoral positions are available for an NSF-Plant Genome
Research Program funded project on the proteomics of seed development
in oilseeds. The overall goal of this project is to profile the
dynamics of protein expression and modification during key stages of
seed-filling in model and crop oilseeds. Advanced instrumentation
for protein separation and identification will be employed for high-
throughput protein profiling. Funding for this project is renewable
for a period of four years and coincides with development of the MU
Proteomics Center (www.proteomics.missouri.edu). A newly released,
liquid chromatography-linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometer
platform will be purchased with funds from this grant and will be
used exclusively for the proposed research. Training will be
provided for the use of this state-of-the-art mass spectrometer.
Prior experience in any of the following areas: protein biochemistry
including 2-D electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics
is desirable. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in
Biochemistry, Biology, Molecular Biology or Bioinformatics and have a
strong interest in seed metabolism. Excellent oral and written
communication skills and the ability to work well in a collaborative
research environment are essential. Competitive salary (commensurate
with experience), fringe benefits including health insurance, and
travel support to meetings are available for these positions. Please
Email curriculum vitae including names of three references and a
cover letter describing research experience and professional goals
