The TomatoLab at the University of Maryland, College Park is seeking a postdoctoral associate to lead a funded project on a novel gene controlling flowering time in tomato. The researcher will characterize the gene using genetic mapping approaches and validate its function through reverse genetics, including CRISPR-based mutagenesis. The project includes functional assays, gene-expression profiling, and phenotypic characterization of the mutant and other genes associated with flowering time. The...

The TomatoLab at the University of Maryland, College Park is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to lead a collaborative research project on flowering time control in tomato. The appointee will work on characterizing a novel gene that regulates flowering time, using genetic mapping and functional validation approaches, including CRISPR-based reverse genetics. This is a project-lead role within a joint effort between the TomatoLab at UMD and USDA ARS. The postdoctoral associate will manage day-to-da...
