Postdoctoral Scholar in Plant Molecular Biology / Development / Genetics
We have an open Postdoctoral Scholar position at the wheat molecular genetics and development laboratory directed by Dr. Jorge Dubcovsky and located at the University of California, Davis. Our laboratory is located in Robbins Hall, and work will be also performed in greenhouses, chambers and field facilities at the UCD campus. Starting time is flexible between July and October 2023.
In our laboratory, we are interested in wheat development and in the mechanisms involved in the integration of multiple environmental and internal signals in the regulation of major meristem transitions. We are interested in manipulating these changes to engineer a more productive wheat plant. Our laboratory has made major contributions in the identification of vernalization and photoperiod genes involved in the transition of the shoot apical meristem from the vegetative to reproductive stage. We are also interested in the transition between the inflorescence meristem into a terminal spikelet, which is critical in the determination of the number of spikelets per spike.

We are currently looking for a candidate with experience in plant molecular biology and plant development to lead a research project in the area of wheat regulation of flowering time or spike development. Experience in wheat or barley molecular genetics is a plus but not a requisite. Applicants with a Ph.D. in plant molecular biology, plant development or plant molecular genetics, will be given priority. Knowledge of biochemical techniques is an advantage. Past experience with laboratory-based research in these areas is required. The position includes full health insurance benefits. The appointment will initially be for two years and may be renewed depending on performance and available funding.
