About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship supports research on the genetics of heat and drought tolerance in perennial ryegrass with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Corvallis, Oregon. The work sits within the Forage Seed and Cereal Research Unit and combines field and laboratory approaches to understand how ryegrass responds to abiotic stress.

In the field, the fellow will collect and analyze trait data linked to plant development, plant physiology, and seed yield under contrasting irrigation regimes at two locations with different weather patterns. The project also includes a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with these traits.

In the laboratory, the fellow will evaluate root growth under heat and drought conditions and help develop mapping populations to uncover genes associated with specific growth patterns. The position is embedded in an applied agricultural research environment with a strong genetics and genomics component, and it offers experience in marker-trait association studies, phenotype measurement, and scientific collaboration under mentor guidance.

Funding details

Stipend of $6,928.92 monthly; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed subject to funds. No employment-related benefits are provided.

What's required

The qualified candidate should have received a doctoral degree in one of the relevant fields, with the degree earned within the past five years. The opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only.
