Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoc Positions in Poplar Functional Genomics Full-time
Multiple postdoctoral research associate positions are available in the laboratory of CJ Tsai at the University of Georgia. Research topics include (1) winter transcriptome regulation of woody stems, (2) metabolic engineering of triterpenes in non-glandular trichomes, (3) vegetative-to-reproductive transition regulation. The incumbents will employ RNA-Seq, metabolite profiling, CRISPR editing, histology, and/or gene network modeling in research. The individuals will also gain experience in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. For some of our recent work, see PMID: 32139476 and 35298644. For more information about the lab, visit http://aspendb.org.
Applicants should have a PhD in plant biology, genetics, biochemistry, or related fields, with hands-on experience in molecular genetics, genomics, developmental biology, metabolic engineering, and/or genome editing. Excellent communication skills and ability to coordinate among project team members and external collaborators are necessary.
Applications should include a cover letter with research experience and career goals, curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and names and contact information of three references.
