A postdoctoral position is open in the Masson laboratory, Department of Genetics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, starting immediately, to investigate the molecular mechanisms that underlie root growth behavior in response to mechanical cues, using approaches derived from systems biology and genetics. Candidates should have a Ph.D. and a strong record of publication in peer-reviewed journals. Demonstrated experience in molecular genetics is required, and preference will be given to individuals with experience in the analysis of next- generation sequencing and/or proteomics datasets. Candidates should also have good communication skills and be willing to collaborate with other researchers. Applications should be sent as single pdf files to phmasson@wisc.edu. They should include a short statement of research interest, a vitae, and names and contact information for three professional references.
