Plant scientist

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to express my interest in a post-doctoral position in molecular biology. I earned a PhD in molecular biology (2013). I have been working on genes characterization and screening during 10 years in academia. As a result, I have taken a strong interest in exploiting the physiological, molecular and genetic of plant stress towards crop improvement. I feel this experience in analyzing complex agronomic traits using molecular biology tools and genomic platform and my publications records makes me a strong candidate. In my PHD, I have supervised summer and master students for experiments related to functional characterization of genes. Throughout the years, I have acquired extensive experience in various techniques including: microarray analyses with bioinformatics tools, DNA, RNA and protein analysis (qPCR, Northen blotting and Western Blotting). I possess good communication skills and enjoy bench work next to research staff in order to reach a higher level of performance. I would like to invite you to see my resume for further notifications and feel free to contact me.
