Post Doctoral Research Scholar

The Department of Crop and Soil Sciences encompasses diverse disciplines in research, extension, and teaching. The department's mission is to develop future leaders in crop, soil and environmental sciences, improve crop plants and products, devise effective and sustainable crop production systems, devise effective and sustainable soil management techniques in both agriculture and urban settings; and disseminate crop, soil, and environmental science knowledge for the benefit of users and producers of food, feed turf, biofuels and fiber in North Carolina, the nation and the world.

We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar who will conduct research focused on understanding genotype-by-environment interactions, and/or environmental adaptation using quantitative/statistical genetics and machine learning. Alternatively, we are also considering candidates who have molecular biology experience, with an interest in scaling translatomic methods (e.g., Riboseq) to understand how sequence variation impacts translation efficiency. The postdoctoral scholar is expected to work in maize or other crop plants and to generate and analyze datasets from high throughput phenotyping and/or genomic, transcriptomic, or translatomic sequencing data. Due to the nature of funding, the scholar will have considerable flexibility to define their research trajectory. The scholar will also have the opportunity to develop professionally through mentoring students, writing manuscripts or grant proposals, and communicating research findings.
