What We Are Looking For<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

PhD in plant biology, genomics, bioinformatics, or related field<\/p>\n

Demonstrated ability to write and publish scientific papers<\/p>\n

Experience with single-cell and omics data analysis (RNA-seq required; multi-omics preferred)<\/p>\n

Strong organizational and project management skills<\/p>\n

Ability to work independently and meet deadlines<\/p>\n

Highly Preferred<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Experience with legume genomics<\/p>\n

Experience integrating multi-omics datasets<\/p>\n

PH.D Student<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

We are seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students with a strong interest in plant molecular genetics, genomics, and the mechanisms underlying plant resilience to environmental and biotic stresses. Competitive applicants should have prior research experience in molecular biology techniques such as DNA\/RNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, cloning, gene expression analysis, or related approaches. Our research integrates genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, and emerging single-cell technologies to investigate adaptation and resilience in crop wild relatives. Students with experience in legume genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, or related fields are particularly encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will focus on interdisciplinary research, scientific collaboration, and addressing fundamental questions in plant adaptation and agricultural sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
