About this position

The Polly Hsu Lab at Michigan State University is seeking motivated individuals for graduate student, postdoctoral, and technician positions. The lab focuses on the translational landscape and regulation in plant growth and stress responses, with a particular emphasis on mRNA translation as the final step of the central dogma. Research in the lab utilizes genome-wide approaches to monitor mRNA translation and uncover novel translation events, combining molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and computational methods to dissect their functions and regulatory mechanisms at both global and gene-specific scales.

Current projects center on gene expression regulation in plant growth and responses controlled by the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA). The long-term goal of the lab is to leverage these novel regulatory mechanisms to control gene expression and promote plant resilience to environmental challenges. This research is highly relevant for students interested in plant molecular biology, gene regulation, stress physiology, and computational biology.

Applicants should have a strong background in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or related fields. Experience with genome-wide approaches, computational biology, or plant biology is preferred. Degree requirements depend on the position applied for (graduate student, postdoc, or technician). Funding details are not specified, but these positions typically include financial support. For more information and application instructions, visit the Polly Hsu Lab website and see the 'Join' section.
