Michigan State University Location East Lansing, Michigan, USA Close Date Position Summary Dr. Sue Rhee is seeking a highly motivated, organized, and creative person to coordinate the outreach and stakeholder engagement activities of an interdisciplinary, multi-institutional, international research center called C-SPIRIT (Center for Sustainable Plant Innovation and Resilience through International Teamwork). C-SPIRIT addresses the critical challenge of stabilizing global food production amid unpredictable weather patterns. It brings together experts from the United States, Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom, to explore sustainable solutions for agriculture. The goal is to ensure crop productivity despite increasing environmental stressors. By creating natural solutions to stabilize crop productivity, the Center addresses urgent agricultural problems. It reduces reliance on non-sustainable practices like synthetic fertilizers and extensive irrigation. The international collaboration also fosters multidisciplinary knowledge exchange and skill development across borders. One of the primary missions of the Center is to engage industry and agricultural stakeholders, ensuring that the developed solutions are practical, scalable, and adopted widely. A particular focus on public engagement and technology adoption aims to build trust and facilitate the widespread implementation of sustainable agricultural practices. Responsibilities: - Manage Stakeholder Engagement - Support External Communications - Coordinate Educational and Outreach Programs: - Sustainability and Growth Strategy - Facilitate Stakeholder Feedback and Input - Public Trust Building - Event Planning and Coordination - Content Creation and Dissemination - Manage Outreach Budgets and Resource Minimum requirments: Knowledge equivalent to that which would normally be acquired in a four year college degree in Public Relations, Communications, Business or in an area related to the work being performed; one to three years of related and progressively more responsible and expansive work experience in a field related to the position including planning and managing special events; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Institution Michigan State University Location East Lansing, Michigan, USA Close Date October 31st, 2024 Position Summary The Rhee Lab is seeking applications from talented college graduates for a 2-3 year Research Assistant (RA) position. This position is ideal for post-bacs who want to enter a career in research. The Rhee Lab’s aim is to uncover the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to environmental stresses. Our studies are diverse, ranging from computational modeling of metabolic networks to characterization of novel plant genes with no similarity to any known genes. We work with several organisms (including grasses, cover crops, and desert plants), but much of the lab’s work centers around the model Arabidopsis thaliana. The Rhee Lab recently embarked on characterizing novel proteins and understanding the process of seed dehydration and rehydration, in which the RA would be a key member. The hired RA will also be responsible for some lab management and maintenance duties. As a full-time member of the Rhee Lab, RAs will meet with Dr. Sue Rhee regularly in a 1-on-1 setting to discuss progress, set targets and receive feedback. The hired RA will also contribute to the development, coordination, and execution of outreach activities for K-12, undergraduate, and public audiences. The Rhee Lab is a major contributor to Water and Life Interface Institute (WALII), Plant Resilience Institute (PRI), Plant Cell Atlas (PCA), and Plant Metabolic Network (PMN) outreach initiatives. We are looking for a highly motivated and organized senior student or recent graduate with a BS/BA in biology, biochemistry, or related fields. This position is particularly relevant for students seeking more laboratory research experience before applying to graduate school. Experience in molecular biology or biochemistry is highly desirable, but no previous plant biology experience is needed. Applicants must be motivated to deliver quality work, pay attention to details, have the ability to think critically to solve problems, have excellent communication skills and a team-driven mindset.
