I am writing to ask for your help in advertising an NIH-funded postdoctoral position in my laboratory. It could be an exciting position, allowing the fellow to gain new skills, contribute scientifically to a young laboratory, and develop his or her own
interests.
I am looking for a motivated scientist, ideally with electrophysiology experience. As this position is funded through the Recovery Act, I should hire as soon as possible. It is a two-year position, with resources for new equipment. If you know of
anyone who might be interested and you think is appropriate, please forward the attached advertisement.
Thank you!

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is open in the Haswell Lab in the Biology Department at WashingtonUniversit yin St. Louis (see http://biology4.wustl.edu/faculty/haswell/ for a research description). This position
would use a combination of genetic, cell biological, biochemical, and electrophysiologica l techniques to study the structure and function of a family of
mechanosensitive ion channels in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
Applicants with previous electrophysiology or plant biology experience are strongly preferred.
To apply, please submit to ehaswell@wustl.edu:
1. A cover letter explaining specifically why you are interested in joining the
group, what skills and knowledge you would contribute, and what you think we
could offer in terms of training. In addition, please describe your career goals.
2. A CV with three or more references and their contact information.
3. A short proposal for a possible project in the lab.
This need not be detailed, but should indicate that you have read enough of the
literature to be sincerely interested in some aspect of our research, and that
you can think independently and creatively about your work. This can be part of the cover letter.
Please quote 10 Academic Resources Daily in your application to this opportunity!
