HFSP funded post-doctoral position on the origin of vascular plants.

I am recruiting to an open post-doctoral position on the origin of apical growth in plants. The project is collaborative and will involve:

1. Moss mutagenesis and a screen for mutants with defective sporangia
2. Establishment of a method forSelaginella transgenesis using extensive preliminary data to guide experiments
3. Reverse genetic analysis of Selaginella CLAVATA gene function.

There is more information about the project and how to apply here, and please do get in touch with me on Jill.Harrison@bristol.ac.uk if you would like to discuss the role.
