Position Term:
12 Month
Position Details:
Summary of Duties:
The Institute of Biological Chemistry at Washington State University currently has a Postdoctoral Research opportunity in the Bates laboratory on the control of acyl lipid metabolism in plants. Plant oils supply humans with much of the calories and nutritionally important fatty acids required in our diet, and plant oils also represent a renewable carbon source that can replace petroleum as feedstocks for the chemical industry or as bio-fuels. To meet the growing demand of the human population we need to greatly increase the amount and different types of oil produced by crop plants. The Bates lab seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for projects that focus on characterizing the genes/enzymes that control lipid metabolic flux to produce unique fatty acid compositions valuable for biofuels and industrial products.
