USDA-ARS Molecular Biology Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Natural Products Utilization Research Unit U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in United States

The Burghardt Lab in the Plant Science Department at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to investigate genome editing and validation of bacterial genes that shape beneficial plant-microbe interactions in agroecosystems. The project centers on the genetic rewiring of rhizobia–legume interactions to influence competitive fitness inside and outside the host and to support optimal nitrogen fixation. The scholar will identify candidate genes from prior lab experiments...

The Department of Plant Science at The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar to lead integrative research on cereal arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses and whole-plant physiology. The research will connect plant–microbe interactions and plant responses to abiotic stress with efforts to improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of agroecosystems. The position is based at Penn State University Park in State College, Pennsylvania, United...

This postdoctoral research associate position at Texas A&M AgriLife Research in Bushland, Texas centers on entomology, insect vector biology, plant virology, and vector–pathogen interactions . The successful candidate will work in the Gadhave Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Kiran Gadhave at the Crop Stress Lab, contributing to research on how arthropod vectors acquire, maintain, and transmit plant pathogens. The project is strongly mechanistic and spans molecular to ecological scales. Th...
