Three postdoc positions available in my lab at University of California Riverside immediately. Two are on RNA trafficking between plant hosts and microbes and one is on developing innovative tools to control citrus greening:
Two postdoctoral fellow positions are available immediately in Dr. Hailing Jin’s lab
Position Description
Two postdoctoral fellow positions are available in Dr. Hailing Jin’s Laboratory at University of California, Riverside, USA to study RNA trafficking and extracellular vesicle-mediated communications between plants and pathogens, or within microbial populations (Science 2018, 360:1126-1129; Science 2013, 342:118-123; Nature Plants 2016, 2:16151; Nature Plants 2021, DOI:10.1038/s41477-021-00863-8, Nature Communications 2023, doi: 10.1038/s41467-023-40093-4).
The successful candidate will utilize molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, genomics and cell biology approaches to study the function and molecular mechanism of cross-kingdom/species trafficking of different RNAs and other molecules between interacting organisms.
Qualification and Experience
Applicants should have recently received a Ph.D. in molecular biology, fungal biology, plant biology, biochemistry, or related disciplines. Highly motivated candidates with strong background and experience in RNA biology, host-pathogen interactions, or vesicle trafficking, are encouraged to apply. Good publication record, good written and oral communication, and prior experience in bioinformatics are highly desirable.
Application
Please send a single PDF file including a personal statement, a full CV, contact information of three references to: Prof. Hailing Jin at hailingj@ucr.edu. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. Positions will remain open until filled.
The University of California is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. UC Riverside provides a vibrant intellectual atmosphere and a pleasant working environment, as well as career development activities designed for post-doctoral researchers. The position is initially for one year and renewable upon satisfactory performance. UCR offers competitive salary based on experience according to UC Riverside pay scales.
A postdoctoral position supported by a USDA NIFA grant is available immediately in Dr. Hailing Jin’s lab
Position Description
A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the Jin Lab at University of California, Riverside, USA to develop effective strategies to control citrus greening disease, which is also called Huanglongbing (PNAS, 2021, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2019628118; Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020, doi: 10.1111/pbi.13502).
The successful candidate will utilize molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, genomics and cell biology approaches to study the functions and molecular mechanism of antimicrobial peptides, and other positive and negative regulators of citrus immune responses.
Qualification and Experience
Applicants should have recently received a Ph.D. in molecular biology, plant biology, plant pathology or related disciplines. Highly motivated candidates with strong background and experience in citrus greening, citrus biology, plant immunity and plant bacterial interaction are encouraged to apply. Good written and oral communication skills and the ability to work well in a collaborative environment are also desired.
