PostDoc in insect RNA interference
The Tomoyasu lab in the Zoology Department at Miami University seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher to study the molecular basis of systemic RNA interference in beetles. Beetles have been shown to exhibit a robust systemic RNAi response, however, its molecular basis remains to be determined. The researcher will study the dsRNA uptake mechanism in the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera) and the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) with a combination of biochemical and gene knockdown techniques.
The successful candidate must have PhD in Biology or related field, and have strong technical skills in molecular biology. Experience in Drosophila genetics and/or protein biochemistry is preferred. Review of applications will begin January 24, 2012 and continue until position is filled. One-year appointment with potential for renewal for up to two years dependent upon performance and funding.
Send application via e-mail (a cover letter, CV, and contact information for two references) to Dr. Yoshi Tomoyasu, Department of Zoology, Miami University, Oxford OH 45056 (tomoyay@muohio.edu).
Miami University is an EOE/AA employer with smoke-free campuses.
