Open Postdoc Positions
Su richiesta del dr. Alessandro Vitale (Istituto di Biologia e Biotecnologia Agraria, Milano) si riportano i seguenti annunci:
Position One
A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the School of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona to participate in a United Soybean Board sponsored research project that focuses altering the expression of seed-specific transcription factors to mediate changes in seed development and composition. The primary approach will be to make use over-expression and RNAi of specific transcription factors in soybean and assess the resulting compositional phenotypes. The incumbent postdoctoral associate will assemble transformation constructs, transform soybean using biolistic transformation, regenerate plants and subsequently seeds, and assess phenotype with rt-PCR, RNA-transcriptome, and proteomics. This data will be used to design further alterations of transcription factors to mediate additional seed composition changes to improve the quality of seeds and to create new value-added seeds for food and feed. Our laboratories have new approaches to understanding and altering seed content that will be exploited in the research to be conducted.
Duties will involve assembling DNA constructs and vectors, transformation of soybean, tissue culture, plant growth in laboratory and greenhouse work, assaying the resulting transgenics using molecular and proteomic assays including PCR, rt-PCR, proteomics (2D gels and Mudpit) and analysis, RNAi seq transcriptome and analysis.
To apply, visit www.uacareertrack.com, search for job #50441 and follow the instructions for application.
Position Two
A biotechnology postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the School of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona to participate in a NIH sponsored research project that focuses producing a soybean formula-based treatment to impede development of necrotic endocolitis in premature infants. The primary approach will be to make epidermal growth factor in soybean and participate assessing the effectiveness of the material in collaboration with investigators at Washington University Medical School. The incumbent postdoctoral associate will assemble transformation constructs, transform soybean using biolistic transformation, regenerate plants and subsequently seeds, and assess accumulation of epidermal growth factor. The incumbent will participate in collaborative assessment of soybean produced epidermal growth factor in a mouse model.
Duties will involve assembling DNA constructs and vectors, transformation of soybean, tissue culture, plant growth in laboratory and greenhouse, assaying the resulting transgenics using molecular, immunological and proteomic assays including PCR, rt-PCR, 2D gels, Mudput mass spectroscopy, and ELISA based assay of epidermal growth factor. The primary goal of this position is to produce and analyze transgenic soybeans.
