About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship is based at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Southern Regional Research Center in New Orleans. The project sits within USDA-ARS Project 6054-41000-107-00D, Nutritional Benefits of Health-Promoting Rice and Value-Added Foods, and focuses on developing activated food products from rice for applications in human diets that promote health and nutrition.

The fellow will work on studies of phytoalexin induction and related bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, in rice, soybean, and sugarcane. Research activities include identifying phytoalexins in plant extracts using UPLC-MS (Waters QToF) and isolating individual compounds through analytical and preparative HPLC techniques. The work is tied to food and plant compound analysis, with emphasis on bioactive constituents and their use in downstream in vitro cell biology studies.

Within this ARS research environment, the appointment offers hands-on experience with analytical workflows for plant extracts and food materials, including characterization of phytoalexin content, polyphenolic compounds, total phenolics, soluble and insoluble fiber, and starch digestibility. The fellowship is designed to build technical skills in chromatography and mass spectrometry while contributing to a program aimed at improving the nutritional value of crop-derived foods.

The mentor for this opportunity is Stephen Boue at USDA-ARS.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of $6,223.17; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed subject to recommendation and availability of funds.
