INRAE and Université Paris-Saclay are advertising a postdoctoral fellow position at GQE-Le Moulon in France . The project focuses on the genetic bases of maize tolerance to water deficit , with an emphasis on how mutations in cis-regulatory elements may alter drought tolerance in maize. This opportunity is well aligned with candidates interested in plant genetics , cellular biology , molecular biology , quantitative genetics , and crop stress biology. The post is framed as part of an inspiring c...

PhD opportunity: Engineering plant cell walls beyond the digestive range of a pest’s bacterial symbiont. This competition-funded PhD project focuses on plant cell wall engineering, pectin chemistry, symbiosis, entomology, microbial genomics, and molecular biology. The research asks whether modifying plant pectin so it falls outside the digestive range of a beetle’s bacterial symbiont can reduce insect feeding and protect plants. The project combines CRISPR/Cas9 editing, targeted gene overexpress...
