About this position

This postdoctoral position at Iowa State University sits within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Department of Agronomy, supporting multidisciplinary crop improvement research in plant breeding, genomics, and phenomics.

The successful researcher will work across field, greenhouse, laboratory, and computational settings to support breeding and cultivar development efforts. The role involves experimental design, data collection and analysis across plant genetics, genomics, phenomics, physiology, pathology, and entomology, as well as breeding activities from planting through harvest and post-harvest seed processing.

The position is linked to work with Dr. Arti Singh and includes collaboration with researchers across multiple disciplines. It also offers advanced training and professional development aimed at preparing the postdoctoral researcher for an independent career in academia, government, or industry.

In addition to research, the appointee will contribute to peer-reviewed publications, grant proposals, technical reports, mentoring of students, and interdisciplinary collaboration within the broader agricultural research environment at Iowa State University.
