About this position

This research opportunity is with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service at the Temperate Tree Fruit and Vegetable Research Unit in Wapato, Washington. The project is centered on developing and evaluating in vitro screening approaches for antimicrobial and biologically active compounds against Cherry X-disease phytoplasma in sweet cherry.

Working under the mentorship of USDA-ARS research scientists, the participant will contribute to a collaborative effort focused on suppressing Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni, a major threat to cherry and other stone fruit production in the Pacific Northwest. The work combines sterile plant tissue culture, therapeutic application, and molecular detection methods to assess how candidate compounds affect phytoplasma levels in micropropagated cherry plantlets.

The research environment emphasizes hands-on laboratory training and interdisciplinary collaboration. The participant will work with in vitro cherry plantlet systems and use molecular screening tools to generate and interpret diagnostic data, supporting broader efforts in plant health research and sustainable crop protection. The opportunity also includes contribution to scientific discussions, data synthesis, and preparation of outputs for journals, conferences, and technical reports.

The Temperate Tree Fruit and Vegetable Research Unit focuses on novel biological, molecular, and bio-intensive methods to manage insect pests and plant pathogens affecting temperate tree fruits and vegetable crops.

Funding details

Stipend of $3,500.00–$4,000.00 per month; appointment initially for one year and renewable depending on recommendation and availability of funds.

What's required
