Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Plant–Microbe Interactions and Rhizobia Optimization Washington State University in United States

The Khokhani Lab at the University of Minnesota is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher to study cross-kingdom interactions among arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and cereal crops. This postdoctoral project focuses on how fungal–bacterial partnerships shape nitrogen and carbon transfer, plant nutrient acquisition, and symbiosis under variable nutrient conditions. The research combines controlled plant–microbe experiments with microbiome profiling, metagenomics, transcriptomics...

The Burghardt Lab in the Plant Science Department at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to investigate genome editing and validation of bacterial genes that shape beneficial plant-microbe interactions in agroecosystems. The project centers on the genetic rewiring of rhizobia–legume interactions to influence competitive fitness inside and outside the host and to support optimal nitrogen fixation. The scholar will identify candidate genes from prior lab experiments...
