USDA National Needs Ph. D. Fellowships in Plant Pathology

Two, three-year Ph.D. student fellowships from the USDA National Needs Graduate
Fellowship Program in Plant Biotechnology are available from the Department of
Plant Pathology at the University of Minnesota at St Paul.  The Fellowship
program is for research into plant defense
systems active against plant diseases caused by fungi.  Research will revolve
about an ongoing  transgenic plant program in small-grain cereals (oat and
barley).  Fellowships will be filled in the 1993-94 academic year and each
supports a Ph.D. candidate for 3 years.  Fellowship appointments can only be
held by United States citizens who enroll and pursue a full-time Ph.D. program
in plant pathology and conduct research in area of the proposal.  Currently
enrolled students are not eligible.  Fellowship applicants must meet or exceed
all University of Minnesota Graduate School requirements.   Fellowship stipends
are up to $17,000 annually.  The Department of Plant Pathology at Minnesota is
one of the oldest and most distinguished in the United States.  To receive
