About this position

Professor Meng Chen at the University of California, Riverside is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a project on anterograde signaling and chloroplast biogenesis.

The research will investigate how nuclear light signaling regulates plastid transcription and chloroplast development in Arabidopsis. The lab’s broader interests include environmental signaling, photobodies, thermomorphogenesis, and nucleus-to-plastid communication, with a focus on how phytochrome signaling controls assembly and activation of the plastid-encoded bacterial-type RNA polymerase.

Ideal candidates hold a Ph.D. in plant biology, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, or a related field. Strong publication record and experience in Arabidopsis genetics, chloroplast biology, plastid gene expression, protein biochemistry, microscopy, or genomics are highly desirable.

To apply, interested candidates should email a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to [email protected]. Additional position details are available via the linked post.
