USDA-ARS Postdoctoral Opportunity in Fungal Population Dynamics & Mycotoxin Ecology in Corn U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in United States

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...

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service at the Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in Miami, Florida. The project focuses on improving disease resistance in cacao ( Theobroma cacao ) by combining molecular plant pathology with computational biology and AI-enabled analysis. The research centers on understanding cacao defense mechanisms and identifying genetic and molecular factors that can strengthen resistance against pat...
