Job, Lab/Field Technician, Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Animal-Microbe Interactions
The Rudgers & Whitney Labs at Rice University ( http://www.ruf.rice.edu/% 7Eplanteco/index.html) are looking for a technician, effective immediately (position open until filled). Duties will include both labwork and fieldwork on two separate NSF-funded projects examining the ecology and evolution of plant-animal and plant-microbe interactions. Candidates should have B.A./B.S. in biology and some hands-on field and/or lab experience. Training will be provided, but experience with DNA techniques (PCR, sequencing) and/or microbial methods (endophytic or mycorrhizal fungi) is a bonus. The position is classified as full-time, temporary (6- 24 months). This position would be an excellent fit for someone planning on graduate study in ecology & evolutionary biology, as there will be the opportunity to gain experience in a number of research areas and to co- author papers. Please send a resume and contact information for three references by email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or by post (K. Whitney/J. Rudgers, Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, MS 170, Rice University, Houston TX 77251-1892).
