Job Duties
Requires a Ph.D. in biology, preferably plant biology, and a publication record in international journals. Experience in the following areas is desirable: biochemistry, computer programming, robotics, genetics, systems biology and statistical analysis of large and complex data sets. The successful candidate will work on the development of assays for parameters associated with yield and CO2 responsiveness, automate these assays using liquid handling robots and evaluate the analytical platform using plant material grown at current and elevated CO2 concentration. The goal is to develop a platform for high throughput phenotyping that can be used to aid the identification of CO2 responsive germplasm in potential large scale screening programs (e.g. Ainsworth et al/ 2008 Plant, Cell and Environment 31, 1317-1324). When applying for this position, please include (in one document) a CV, cover letter detailing research interests and the names and email addresses of at least three references. The position is available to start in late 2009 or early 2010. For more information see http://www.bnl.gov/pubweb/alistairrogers/ or contact Dr. Alistair Rogers at arogers@bnl.gov. Under the direction of A. Rogers, Environmental Sciences Department. BNL policy states that Research Associate appointments may be made to those who have received their doctoral degrees within the past five years.
