Dear friends and colleagues,

There is an post-doc opening in my lab for a talented scientist interested
in exploring how the plant circadian clock interacts with the cellular
machinery controlling mRNA generation and processing.  This position will
be available as soon as September, 2023, and up to three years of funding
is available.

More information is available below, or at the following link:

I’d appreciate you circulating this notice among your network.

Thanks very much!

Best regards,
Stacey


We’re looking for a new team member who has recently received or will soon
receive a PhD in plant biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or a
related discipline. In this multi-disciplinary project, we are using
genetic, biochemical, transcriptomic and modeling approaches to better
understand how the plant circadian oscillator influences mRNA generation
and processing and how RNA dynamics in turn affect circadian
clock function. The successful candidate should have recently received a
PhD in plant biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline. S/he should
have extensive experience in one or more of these areas: molecular biology,
genetics, transcriptional profiling, and programming in R or Python. S/he
must be highly motivated and able to both work independently and in
collaboration with other group members.

The successful applicant will join an excellent research team housed in the
Department of Plant Biology at UC Davis. Lab alumni have gone on to
successful careers in industry and academia (
https://harmerlab.plantclock.org/team/). Our collaborators on this
project include experts in system biology (Alexander Hoffmann, UC Los
Angeles) and computational biology (Didier Gonze, Université Libre de
Bruxelles). We will help build broad professional skills useful for a
variety of post-PhD career paths, including a focus on scientific
communication, project management, and best practices for creating
an inclusive research environment. Project members will design and teach a
course-based undergraduate research experience course, involving
undergraduates in the project. We will also host summer students recruited
through the UC Davis Graduate Admissions Pathways, a program aimed at
eliminating the barriers that prevent underrepresented students
from successfully entering and completing graduate school.

UC Davis has over 100 plant-focused research groups and is among the most
published and cited U.S. research universities in the plant sciences. Davis
is a pleasant college town located in the northern Central Valley of
California. It is 20 minutes from the state capital (Sacramento), 1hr 30min
from San Francisco, and within easy driving distance of Northern California
wine country, the coast, and the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The position is available from September, 2023 and is open until filled;
three years of funding is available. Starting salary $66,000 – 69,000,
depending on experience, and will adhere to the negotiated UC Davis
post-doctoral payscale. Post-doctoral fellows at UC Davis enjoy
excellent health care benefits and a supportive work environment.

Contact Dr. Harmer with questions. To apply, please email a cover letter
and a CV as a single PDF document. Information provided should include:
prior research experience and accomplishments; career goals; expected
availability date; and detailed contact information for three references.
Applications will be considered as they are received. Visit our lab website
