APPLIED ECOLOGICAL GENETICISTS


Postdoctoral position and graduate research fellowship (each renewable for
up to three years) in Applied Ecological Genetics available immediately at
Clemson University.  We seek individuals with an interest in utilizing
molecular markers to assess gene flow (by pollen and seed) from cultivated
plants to wild relatives.  The long term goal is to assess ecological risks
of transgene escape from bioengineered crops to wild relatives.  Current
research focuses on strawberries, is funded by the Biotechnology Risk
Assessment Program of USDA, and involves a team of scientists at Clemson
including Drs. Abbott and Rajapakse (molecular biology), Spira (population
biology) and Tonkyn (theoretical ecology).  Candidates should have
background and interest in plant genetics/ecology and experience using
molecular techniques.  Please send curriculum vitae, a brief summary of
research interests, and three letters of recommendation to Dr. Albert G.
Abbott, Department of Biological Sciences, Clemson University, Clemson SC,
