Postdoctoral Scholar in Genome Editing and Plant-Microbe Interactions The Pennsylvania State University in United States

The Burghardt Lab in the Plant Science Department at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar at Penn State University Park, United States. The postdoctoral researcher will study genome editing and validation of bacterial genes underlying beneficial plant–microbe interactions in agroecosystems. Grant-funded research focuses on genetically rewiring rhizobia–legume interactions to influence competitive fitness inside and outside the host and optimize nitrogen fixation. W...

Washington State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project in molecular plant–microbe interactions , with an emphasis on rhizobia bacteria and legume crops. Supported by a USDA grant, the project will investigate whether rhizobia strains can be optimized to improve environmental stability and increase the tolerance of legume plants to field stressors. The research addresses the diversity of rhizobia found in agricultural environments and the limited understanding of how inocu...

The Khokhani Lab at the University of Minnesota is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher to study cross-kingdom interactions among arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and cereal crops. This postdoctoral project focuses on how fungal–bacterial partnerships shape nitrogen and carbon transfer, plant nutrient acquisition, and symbiosis under variable nutrient conditions. The research combines controlled plant–microbe experiments with microbiome profiling, metagenomics, transcriptomics...
