Multiple Postdoctoral Positions in AI, Computational Biology, Plant Molecular Biology, and Evolutionary & Population Genetics Cornell University in United States

Edward Buckler is recruiting a PhD student for Cornell University 's Plant Breeding and Genetics program, with a planned start in Fall 2027 . The project focuses on maize and its relatives, asking why they perform so poorly in the cold and how this limitation can be overcome. The research is highly interdisciplinary and combines comparative genomics across grasses and flowering plants, AI models of sequence and function , and field and greenhouse phenotyping . This opportunity is especially suit...
