[Plsugs] Undergraduate work in Plant Sciences

[Tanya Quist]

The Yadegari lab is looking for an undergraduate student to work in their
greenhouse and lab.  The student will help with growing of both maize (6th
Street greenhouse) and Arabidopsis, and general lab assistance.  Depending
on our workload, and the student's experience and abilities, we may ask
him/her to help with some research work as well.  The position will require
about 8-10 hours per week to start but may expand depending on the lab's
