Recruitment/Posting Title Post-Doctoral Associate Department SEBS-Plant Biology Salary Commensurate With Experience Benefits Posting Summary A post-doctoral position in the Department of Plant Biology at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA – working in turfgrass pathology – is available immediately as a turfgrass industry grant funded project led by Dr. Ming-Yi Chou (lab website: sites.rutgers.edu/chou-lab).
Post-doctoral Associate will work on multiple research foci including but not limited to 1) Developing molecular assay to study turf pathogen population genetics related to fungicide resistance, 2) Digital PCR analysis for the turfgrass foliar pathogen in samples collected from field trials and commercial operations, and 3) Fungicide efficacy field trials. The results obtained are expected to identify and understand novel strategies to control disease in turfgrass.

Applicants should have a recent PhD in molecular genetics and/or biochemistry, preferably with experience in plant pathology. The ability to carry out experimental work independently is essential as is the ability to interact with multiple PIs since the project involves an integrative team with multiple expertise.
