<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt">One or two postdoctoral fellow positions are available for motivated scientists to test gene expression and epigenetic changes in plant hybrids and polyploids with a research focus on elucidating molecular mechanisms
for hybrid vigor and seed development in Arabidopsis or fiber cell development in cotton. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Plant Biology, Genetics, Computational Biology or related areas with solid training in plant science, molecular biology, and epigenetics.
Bioinformatic and statistical skills are required to analyze sequencing and epigenomic data. The successful candidate should be able to pursue own research interests, as well as to work collaboratively with other postdocs and graduate students in the lab.
Salary is competitive with experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
