Jae Young Choi

Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Plant Molecular Evolution and Genetics at the University of Kansas The Choi Lab at the University of Kansas is recruiting a funded postdoctoral researcher to join an interdisciplinary project in plant genetics , molecular biology , evolutionary biology , functional genomics , and genomic data analysis . The project investigates variation in plant telomeres and the evolutionary forces shaping telomere biology, using approaches such as CRISPR technologies, quantitative genetics, single-cell methods, and population genomics. This opportunity is supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is based at the University of Kansas, USA . The appointment is initially for one year with the possibility of extension. The lab highlights a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and offers the chance to develop independent research projects while contributing to student mentoring and training. Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in genetics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, or a related field. Prior experience in plant biology or plant genetics is required, and experience with high-throughput sequencing or genomic data analysis is preferred. A strong interest in evolutionary research is emphasized. How to apply: send a CV, a cover letter describing your qualifications and research interests, and contact information for three academic references to [email protected] . Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, and the preferred start date is Summer 2026 .
