Carnegie Institution for Science Open Date June 8, 2022 Location Stanford, CA, USA Description We are looking for a talented recent graduate to work as a Research Assistant (RA) in the laboratory of Dr. Sue Rhee at the Carnegie Institution for Science, Department of Plant Biology, located in Stanford, California. Our lab is generally interested in uncovering the molecular mechanisms of plant adaptation to environmental stresses. We work with different organisms ranging from model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to economically important crops such as Sorghum bicolor, an economically important bioenergy crop. We are looking for RA to work on the Sorghum Metabolic Atlas project. Our goal is to create a high-resolution cellular map of sorghum metabolic enzymes through deciphering enzyme localization within the cell. Information about enzyme localization contributes to the current understanding of enzyme functions and metabolic networks. We use a variety of cellular and molecular biology techniques to identify enzyme subcellular localization. The RA will be assisting a postdoc to scale up the scope of this project by conducting enzyme localization experiments from start-to-finish, which includes growing and maintaining plants, Gateway cloning to generate destination vectors, transient expression of enzymes followed by identifying localization through confocal microscopy. We are looking for a highly motivated, organized and experienced recent graduate with a BS or BA degree in biology, cellular and molecular biology or related fields. The position is particularly relevant for students seeking more laboratory research experience before applying to graduate school. Experience in basic molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to, PCR amplification, cloning, plasmid isolation, and bacterial transformation is required. Knowledge about plant transient transformation is a plus. Previous experience in growing and maintaining plants is recommended. Institution
North Carolina State University Open Date February 24, 2022 Location Raleigh, NC, USA Description The Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar position in the lab of Dr. Terri Long. The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will collaborate with mathematical modelers to conduct hypothesis-driven molecular, genetic, and biochemical experimentation that will delineate the molecular rules underlying systemic Fe homeostasis in Arabidopsis. The candidate will be expected to contribute to a variety of studies to characterize protein function and dynamics in Arabidopsis that will require the use of in vitro protein analysis (ie. Immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting), as well as confocal, enzymatic, and physiological analysis. The candidate will be expected to design and conduct quality, substantive, and methodological research, and share and report research findings by publishing papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and participating in research conferences, seminar series, and other appropriate professional activities. The postdoc will meet frequently with Dr. Long to discuss best practices in grant writing, manuscript preparation, and mentoring. The postdoc will also be expected to assist with training undergraduates and graduate students that will join the lab. Qualifications

Duke University, Biology Location Durham, NC, USA Closing date November 12, 2021 Description The Benfey lab is a leading developmental biology lab located at Duke University. We are seeking to hire a full-time technician who will primarily work on a project examining single cell gene expression in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Duties will include preparation of single cell RNA-Sequencing libraries, as well as tasks related to general molecular biology, and use/maintenance of a state of the art light sheet microscope. Training will be provided. This is a position suitable for a recent graduate seeking to obtain lab experience before graduate school, or anyone interested in working on a project using cutting edge technologies to help answer fundamental questions on developmental biology. Bachelor's degree in life sciences related field and experience in a molecular biology lab are required. 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
