September 8, 2021 Deadline September 30, 2021 Institution Institute of Biology Leiden, Leiden University Location Leiden, Netherlands Description Plant diseases occur everywhere and are one of the major threats to our agriculture. Understanding how disease resistance works is one of the long-term missions in the newly established group led by Dr. Ding, and also the key to protecting plant health. The PhD project will focus on investigating gene regulatory mechanisms involved in immunity activated by intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) receptors (NLRs). This research will continue on the recent discovery that NLR-activated transcription in-part potentiated the cell-surface receptor-mediated immunity (Ngou et al. Nature 2021; Ding et al. JXB 2021).

Institution
Carnegie Institution for Science Location Stanford, CA, USA Earliest starting date November 1, 2021 Closing date Flexible, accepting applications until filled. Description The Burlacot lab is opening on October 1, 2021 at the Department of Plant Biology of the Carnegie Institution for Science. We will start a scientific journey in the study of the molecular mechanisms that allow photosynthesis to be the major CO2 cycling mechanism in the atmosphere. We are seeking for a highly motivated and creative person to start developing new methods for understanding the response of algal photosynthesis to fluctuating environments. We aim to recruit highly motivated and creative people with strong training in quantitative biophysics/ photosynthesis/ algal biology. Our lab aims to understand the acclimation of photosynthesis to environmental fluctuations and the dynamics of the molecular mechanisms involved. The questions that our lab aims to address are: How are microalgae dynamically reacting to environmental fluctuations? How do molecular mechanisms of photosynthesis dynamically interact to optimise cell survival and growth under fluctuating conditions? How do the different time scales of photosynthetic energy transfers combine at various time scales of light fluctuations? What genes are important for acclimation to such fluctuations? Can we modify key enzymes to make photosynthesis more robust to some environments? Qualifications

Scienion/Pacific Northwest National Lab Location Richland, WA, USA Description Joint appointment - Scienion/PNNL SCIENION US, INC is looking for an outstanding candidate for a postdoctoral position working on projects associated with technology advancements and biological applications of high-throughput single-cell multi-omics in collaboration with the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), a national scientific user facility at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, WA. Qualifications
Open Date
August 30, 2021 Institution North Carolina State University Location Raleigh, NC, USA Description The Sozzani Lab research focuses on understanding how stem cells are organized and maintained in the root of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Our goal is to gain a coherent qualitative and quantitative understanding of stem cell maintenance at the systems-level. Our research leverages techniques derived from molecular, developmental and cell biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and engineering. In plant systems, stem cell regulation has clear implications for increasing the production of crops used for food, fiber and fuel. Our research will reveal a specific molecular pathway of plant stem cells, and provide broader insights into the fundamental properties of stem cells across the plant and animal kingdoms. We are looking to hire a postdoc! Join us exploring the transcriptional activation, data analytics, and deep learning. Direct message Lisa Van den Broeck with inquires and/or questions. Institution
Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Joint Genome Institute Location Berkeley, CA, USA Description Lawrence Berkeley Lab’s (LBL) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has an opening for a Genome Annotation Scientist (Data Scientist) to join the team. Take advantage of an exciting opportunity to employ your scientific and computational skills as part of the JGI Plant Science Program, the world’s largest producer of high-quality plant genome assemblies and annotations. In this role, you will work at the JGI within the Plant Comparative Analysis group to generate new as well as improved plant genome annotations and facilitate the acquisition, incorporation, and display of functional, genetic, and other genome-anchored data in the Phytozome Genomics Portal (https://phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov). Your responsibilities include the curation and assessment of relevant plant transcriptomic datasets and assembled genomes, running and troubleshooting the annotation pipeline, analyzing the resulting gene predictions in coordination with internal and external scientists, evaluating genome-specific modifications and tuning of the pipeline components, and incorporating the data into the Phytozome portal. Qualifications
