A postdoctoral position studying the genetic basis of complex traits in sunflower is available in the Burke lab at the University of Georgia. This position will involve the development of association mapping resources in sunflower, characterization of the structure of linkage disequilibrium across the sunflower genome, and candidate gene analyses aimed at associating molecular polymorphisms with variation in traits such as flowering time and seed dormancy. Funds are currently available to support
this position for up to three years.
Applicants should have a strong background in population and/or quantitative genetics. Experience with association mapping approaches is desirable. To apply, please send your CV, a statement of research interests, and contact informaion for three references to: John M. Burke, PhD University of Georgia Department of Plant Biology Athens, GA 30602 or (preferably) via e-mail to: jmburke@uga. edu Informal inquiries are also encouraged.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is
filled. For more information about the UGA Department of Plant Biology, please visit: http://www.plantbio .uga.edu/ Information on the Burke lab can be found at: http://www.theburke lab.org/ --
