University of Georgia
Postdoctoral Researcher
Functional Gene Characterization
A two-year post-doctoral position is available immediately in the Devos Lab at the University of Georgia to conduct functional validation of candidate genes previously identified in grass species through genome-wide association studies. Approaches could include transformation in heterologous systems, analysis of CRISPR-Cas9 knockout and overexpression lines in the target species, mutant analyses and in vitro assays. We are looking for a post-doc with innovative ideas, strong molecular and, potentially, biochemical skills, and who can work independently. The position is expected to combine bench work with greenhouse/field experiments and bioinformatic analyses. Preference will be given to candidates that are within 5 years of obtaining their PhD and who can start immediately. If you are interested, please send a cover letter and CV to [email protected].
