About this position

This research opportunity with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in St. Paul, Minnesota focuses on Fusarium head blight, a major disease of wheat, barley, and other cereal crops. The project examines how Fusarium causes disease through host interactions and how it produces harmful mycotoxins that can accumulate in cereal grains during infection.

Working alongside the mentor and lab members, the graduate student will help design experiments, collect and analyze data, and contribute to project goals aimed at developing new strategies to control the disease and reduce mycotoxin contamination in the food supply. The work is positioned within the USDA-ARS research environment, which supports agricultural problem-solving and scientific innovation for crop protection and food security.

The role offers hands-on research experience in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, plant and fungal genetics, and bioinformatics, with a strong emphasis on collaborative research in an applied agricultural setting.
