Postdoctoral position in engineering nitrogen-fixing associations
A postdoctoral position (up to five years) is available in the Ané lab in the departments of Bacteriology and Agronomy at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
The postdoctoral researcher will be part of an interdisciplinary team studying the evolution of root nodule symbioses. The goal of the project is to (1) identify evolutionary innovations that allowed efficient nitrogen-fixing associations to appear using comparative phylogenomic approaches, and (2) use this mechanistic information to engineer nitrogen-fixing symbioses in poplar and cereals.
The postdoctoral researcher mentored by Dr. Jean-Michel Ané will test hypotheses from EvoDevo approaches in legumes and non-legumes (poplar and maize) with the goal of engineering nitrogen-fixing associations. They will be involved in interdisciplinary collaborations nationally and internationally.
Starting Salary: $47,476 with full benefits from the University of Wisconsin - Madison
Anticipated Start Date: January 15, 2020
Requirements: A Ph.D. in Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology, Plant Genetics, Plant Physiology, or related fields is required. The successful candidate will have co-authored one or more peer-reviewed publications in reputable international journals in basic plant sciences and will be an expert in plant molecular and cellular biology. Candidates with prior experience in the study of plant-microbe interactions, EvoDevo, plant signaling, or nitrogen fixation are especially encouraged to apply. Excellent oral and written communication skills in English and the ability to work well in a collaborative environment are essential.
To Apply: Please send a cover letter, a CV and 3 references by email to Dr. Jean-Michel Ané (jeanmichel.ane@wisc.edu). Please entitle your email “Application for postdoc position”.
