Job opening: Cornell Plant Transformation Facility, Industrial hemp research technician

[Matthew R Willmann]

The Cornell Plant Transformation Facility (PTF) is a service facility of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and its School of Integrative Plant Science (SIPS). PTF is charged with supporting the plant biology research of Cornell faculty by making transgenic and genome-edited plants of time-consuming or hard-to-transform species. Current projects at PTF concentrate on rice, maize, wheat, apple, and industrial hemp.

In addition to our service work, we also perform grant-supported research. We are currently looking for a research technician to help develop protocols for micropropagation, transformation, and genome-editing of industrial hemp and to use these protocols to create improved cultivars and support the hemp research of other labs on campus.
