Joined the faculty of agriculture of the Hebrew University in 1973 as a Lecturer in biometrical genetics and breeding and promoted to the positions of senior lecturer, associate professor and full

During the years 1978-9, 1985-6, 1992, 1993, 1999 and 2001 he spent sabbatical leaves at:
1) ABRO, Edinburgh, Scotland; 2) Leicester, England; 3) Guelph, Canada; 4) VPI, Virginia; and 5-6) Stanford University, USA.
Since 1985, his lab was focused in mapping projects and phylogenetic analyses. During these years, efforts were made to detect QTLs controlling complex traits, using various kinds of molecular marke
rs in various species.
During the last two years, efforts are made to use microarrays and SNP technologies for gene detection and biodiversity studies.
