About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in the School of Plant, Environmental, and Soil Sciences at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center in Baton Rouge. The project is part of a USDA-NIFA grant aimed at improving the sustainability of rice farming by uncovering molecular mechanisms that underlie stress resilience and by developing high-yielding breeding lines.
The researcher will work on rice improvement for tolerance to salinity, drought, and heat stress, with a strong emphasis on plant genome editing. The role includes designing experiments to identify and validate genomic targets or candidate genes, then applying genome editing tools to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in rice. The successful candidate will also contribute to publication of research results, presentation at scientific meetings and workshops, and mentoring graduate students.
The post is associated with Dr. Prasanta K. Subudhi and the LSU AgCenter research environment, which combines agricultural research and extension within the wider Louisiana State University system.
