Postdoctoral position in the Moroney lab at LSU

A postdoctoral position in the area of plant and algal molecular biology/biochemistry is available in the laboratory of James Moroney at Louisiana State University. Current areas of research include the CO₂ concentrating mechanism (CCM) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and the metabolic roles of carbonic anhydrases in plants and algae. In particular, components of the CCM will be tested in model C₃ plants to determine if they can improve CO₂ assimilation. The successful applicant would become part of the RIPE project, an international effort to improve photosynthesis in crop plants.
