Postdoctoral Fellow =96 Plant Molecular Biology (A$45253 to $51986) CSIRO Entomology and CSIRO Plant Industry seek to appoint a post-doctoral fellow to investigate the molecular basis of plant defence to sapsucking insects. The project will investigate plant gene induction in response to aphid feeding. Research will focus on the model legume Medicago truncatula, for which we have resistant and susceptible cultivars against economically important aphid species. M. truncatula has many advantages for molecular genetic research including a major international effort to develop a suite of genomic tools. There is mounting evidence that genes implicated in pathogen defence may also be important in defending plants against sapsucking insects and the appointee will therefore benefit from close links to established research projects in Plant Industry investigating signalling pathways induced by pathogen infection. The aims of the project are: (1) To determine in what plant tissue and at what stage in aphid feeding resistance is being manifested. (2) To analyse the differential expression of known defence genes in resistant vs. susceptible cultivars in response to aphid feeding using RT-PCR and the public M. truncatula EST databases. (3) To identify genes with variable expression patterns between or within cultivars in response to aphid feeding using differential display, subtraction hybridisation, and/or genomics approaches. (4) To conduct genetic studies to map aphid resistance genes with the aim of initiating a map based cloning effort and identifying signal transduction components. The appointee will have a PhD or equivalent qualification in molecular biology or biochemistry and proven research achievement and understanding of advanced molecular techniques. Knowledge of the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression, differential screening approaches and plant-pathogen interactions are highly desirable. The position will be based in the laboratory of Dr Karam Singh (Plant Industry) at the CSIRO Centre for Mediterranean Agricultural Research (CCMAR) in Perth, Western Australia. CSIRO is the major research organisation in Australia and is internationally recognised for its strengths in both entomology and plant molecular biology. Further information about the Centre for Mediterranean Agricultural Research (CCMAR) can be found at http://www.ccmar.csiro.au. Perth is a beautiful city of 1.4 million on the coast of southwestern Australia. More information on Perth and the state of Western Australia can be obtained at the Western Australia tourism commission home page (http://www.westernaustralia.net). The appointment will be for 3 years with a 12 month probationary period. Some assistance with relocation expenses will be available. The appointment of a Postdoctoral Fellow is not open to people with more than 3 years postdoctoral experience. Applicants who do not meet this criterion may be considered for appointment at the Experimental Scientist Level. An Information Package can be obtained from Julie Dunn, (phone (08) [international +61 8] 9333 6224, fax (08) 9333 6211, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) or at the CSIRO Entomology web site (www.ento.csiro.au). Technical inquiries should be directed to Dr Owain Edwards (phone (08) 9333 6401, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Dr Karam Singh ((08) 9333 6320, [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION to study chromatin dynamics and function in Arabidopsis An INRA post-doctoral fellowship is immediately available in the Laboratoire de Biologie Cellulaire of INRA (Versailles - France) for a non-French candidate to study chromatin organisation and gene regulation in plants. By analysing a collection of Arabidopsis mutants, we have recently identified a new gene having characteristic motifs for protein/protein interaction and for chromatin interactions also present in drosophila and animal (unpublished data). The Arabidopsis protein also presents a specific and interesting nuclear localisation. The main objectives for the postdoctoral researcher will be to elucidate (1) the function of this protein in the organisation and dynamic of the chromatin, (2) its mode of action by identifying its partners and (3) its influence on gene regulation and plant development. The position is open to a recent PhD or current post-doctoral fellow with experience in chromatin-related techniques or in plant molecular biology. Enthusiasm for understanding the role of chromatin modulation in gene regulation and development and a strong background in molecular biology and genetics is desirable. Expertise in protein analyses, protein/protein interactions and immunology would be a greatly appreciated. The appointment will be for 2 years and the starting date is as soon as possible. To apply, please send by email a CV, a brief statement of research experience and interest and the names and email addresses of two referees.
