About this position

This postdoctoral position in Texas A&M AgriLife Research’s Department of Horticultural Sciences is based in College Station, Texas, and is attached to the Vegetable and Fruit Improvement Center. The role sits within a research environment that brings together crop science, food chemistry, microbiology, and analytical method development across Texas A&M AgriLife.

The successful researcher will lead and coordinate laboratory activities and contribute to a broad project portfolio focused on bioactive compounds from food sources. Core responsibilities include metabolite identification, development and optimization of analytical methods, and the study of how genetic, biochemical, and environmental factors influence bioactive compounds and volatiles in fruits and vegetables. The position also includes research on microbiome and nanoencapsulation systems for microbiological safety, as well as work on plant disease samples to understand relationships among diseases, pests, and potential metabolites.

In addition to laboratory-based work, the associate will collaborate with research teams, industry partners, and other experts, including participation in a tomato integrated project. The work may involve field trials and sample collection across Texas. The postdoctoral researcher will also help maintain laboratory certification, troubleshoot and maintain instrumentation, train undergraduate and graduate students and visiting scientists, contribute to grant writing and manuscripts, and disseminate findings through peer-reviewed publications.

The project emphasizes fruit and vegetable secondary metabolites, volatile compounds, plant microbiome interactions, and analytical and computational approaches for understanding climate-related stress biology in crop systems.

What's required

A doctorate degree is required. Preferred experience includes research on secondary metabolites of fruits and vegetables, gut microbiome, soil microbiome, and tomato in relation to water use efficiency and heat tolerance. Applicants should have strong oral and written communication skills, be able to independently design and execute experiments, and have expertise in laboratory research and analytical instrumentation. Experience with identifying, characterizing, and functionally analyzing volatile and bioactive compounds, statistical analysis tools such as SAS, R, XLstat, and multivariate analysis, and Microsoft Office is preferred. Additional preferred skills include LC-MS, GC-MS, Raman spectroscopy, NMR, statistical modeling, plant microbiome interactions, soil and rhizosphere microbiology, next-generation sequencing, metagenomics, RNA-seq, transcriptomics, multi-omics, bioinformatics in R and Python, AI/ML-assisted analysis, assay development, management of laboratory personnel and projects, preparation of safety manuals and SOPs, dissemination of research findings, and mentorship. A driver’s license is preferred, and the candidate must be able to conduct studies independently and move the research toward innovation.
