Postdoctoral position: mRNA translation in plant responses to the environment (MSU)

[Polly Hsu]

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in Polly Hsu’s Lab at
Michigan State University to study mRNA translation in plant responses to
the environment. The candidates should have a background in plant molecular
biology. A strong interest in either stress response or mRNA translation is
preferred. Applicants should have at least one first-author peer-reviewed
research paper and demonstrate efficient scientific writing and
communication. To learn more about the Hsu lab:

The successful candidate will generate/characterize mutants and transgenic
plants for genes of interests using molecular genetics, biochemical and
cell biology approaches. In addition, the candidate will have the
opportunity to work on RNA-seq/Ribo-seq library constructions and data
analysis. The candidate is expected to work independently while actively
collaborate with other members of the lab.

To apply, please send 1) a cover letter summarizing your research
interests, career goals, potential start date & your motivation to join the
Hsu Lab, 2) a CV, and 3) contact information of three references to
