POST-DOC POSITION IN RICE BIOTECHNOLOGY

sequences). This project is part of a 3 year grant funded by
the USDA Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grants program.
The incumbent will work closely with the PI and other
colleagues in the center. The Western Regional Research

transformation is beneficial but not required.
