一．研究方向及应聘要求

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at Purdue University. The research project involves understanding the molecular mechanism of Agrobacterium T-DNA integration into the plant genome. The project involves proximity labeling to identify chromosomal proteins near chromosomal break sites that may attract VirD2/T-DNA molecules for integration, and validation of these proteins in the T-DNA integration process. The project also involves understanding interactions between VirD2/T-DNA and chromatin proteins, and the role of various histone proteins in T-DNA integration. Applicants should be familiar with standard molecular biology, cell biology, and microbial genetics techniques, informatics, and plant tissue culture. We are a basic science laboratory; please do not apply if your only experience or interest is in transforming some gene into some plant species. Applicants should be within 3 years of their Ph.D. Please send your c.v. and a one-page statement describing your interest in this project to:

Dr. Stanton B. Gelvin, Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University. gelvin@purdue.edu. We value applications from a diverse group of scientists.

二．导师简介

Dr. Stanton Gelvin是普渡大学生物系的杰出教授 (Edwin Umbarger Distinguished Professor of Biology)，是植物分子生物学领域和遗传工程学领域的国际权威之一，是美国微生物科学院和美国科学促进会会员。Dr. Gelvin长期致力于研究农杆菌（Agrobacterium tumefaciens）介导的植物基因转化机制，系统揭示了T-DNA转移过程的分子基础。他的工作不仅对植物遗传学和分子生物学的发展具有重大影响，为以基因转化为主的现代农业生物技术提供了强有力的理论支持。Dr. Gelvin的论文累计被引用超过18000次，H-index高达66。Dr. Gelvin实验室经费充足，遗传材料丰富，因科研工作需要，现招聘博士后以及博士研究生，请有意向的同学通过电子邮件联系Gelvin教授。
