Postdoc Opportunities in Plant Biology in France

Royal Holloway, University of London is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join its Department of Biological Sciences and work with Professor Alessandra Devoto in collaboration with Syngenta Jealott’s Hill. The project, Plant Cell Libraries , focuses on plant synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. The researcher will develop and characterise engineered plant cell cultures and whole plants, contributing to plant engineering through iterative design–build–test–learn strategies. The...

The University of Warwick’s School of Life Sciences is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the ERC Advanced Grant project Rhizosphere Rhythms: Unravelling Diurnal Microbiome Dynamics and Their Role in Plant–Soil Interactions . The research investigates how daily, or circadian, rhythms in plants shape the microbial communities living around their roots. The project will examine how plant circadian rhythms influence the rhizosphere microbiome and what these dynamics reveal about plan...

This position at Prairie View A&M University is a research-focused faculty role in the Cooperative Agricultural Research Center for a principal investigator to build a new program in pomology . The appointee will develop a research portfolio around niche fruit and nut tree species suited to the university’s farm and ranch setting, including pecans, figs, persimmons, satsumas, mulberries, and pomegranate. The role combines research , extension , and teaching within PVAMU’s land-grant mission. The...

The University of Leeds is recruiting a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join Laura Carter’s research group on the project “Closing the Loop: Emerging Contaminants in Agricultural Environments.” The project investigates the fate and effects of emerging contaminants, particularly pharmaceuticals, in agricultural systems. The research will examine how these contaminants affect soil health and crop productivity, as well as the implications of human exposure through food consumption. The fellow will...

Texas A&M AgriLife Research is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Soil & Crop Sciences at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The position is centered on research into soil and plant microbiomes , with opportunities to contribute to experimental design, data analysis, scientific reporting, presentations, and manuscript preparation.

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...

Postdoctoral Scholar at The Pennsylvania State University in the Department of Plant Science, located at University Park, State College, PA. This postdoctoral project is centered on integrative research connecting cereal arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses and whole-plant physiology with the goal of improving the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of agroecosystems. The scholar will contribute to research at the interface of plant-microbe interactions, crop physiology, and sustainable agr...

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...
