About this position

The School of Plant, Environmental, and Soil Sciences at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a USDA-NIFA-funded project focused on improving the sustainability of rice farming.

The research will investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying rice tolerance to salinity, drought, and heat stress. The postdoctoral researcher will design experiments to identify and validate genomic targets and candidate genes, then apply genome-editing tools to develop high-yielding rice breeding lines with improved tolerance to these abiotic stresses.

The project provides an opportunity to work across plant biotechnology, molecular biology, plant genetic engineering, tissue culture, genetic transformation, and genome editing. The researcher will also publish findings in peer-reviewed journals, present results at professional meetings, conferences, and workshops, and mentor graduate students.

The position is based in the School of Plant, Environmental, and Soil Sciences at the LSU Agricultural Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, within an agricultural research environment connected to the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station and the broader LSU System.

What's required

Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Plant Biotechnology, Genetic Engineering, or a related field; strong publication record; strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills; ability to work cooperatively with lab members; and essential experience in plant tissue culture, genetic transformation, and genome editing in any plant species. Experience with gene editing in rice is highly preferred. A satisfactory pre-employment background check is required.
