Research Assistant III/S
The Rhee Lab is seeking a highly motivated Research Assistant III/S to support innovative research on plant resilience through a combination of computational and experimental approaches. This full-time position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects in molecular and cell biology while collaborating with an interdisciplinary and international team. The successful candidate will play a central role in advancing research efforts, overseeing microscopy and molecular techniques, coordinating collaborative experiments, and contributing to publications and grant writing. In addition to research, the role includes lab management, mentorship, and training of students and staff, fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and collaborative research environment.
Postdoctoral Scholar-Fixed Term
PRI is seeking a highly motivated and interdisciplinary postdoctoral researcher with strong computational and data science skills to join a project focused on identifying causal environmental drivers of crop resilience and yield. This position will focus on the computational aspects of the project, including data integration, association analyses (EWAS), and development of predictive models using large, multi-dimensional datasets. The postdoc will work closely with PRI researchers and external partners to translate complex environmental and phenotypic data into actionable insights for crop improvement and climate adaptation strategies.
Postdoctoral Scholar-Fixed Term
PRI is seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher to lead a project focused on discovering a new class of regulatory metabolites and their nuclear signaling mechanisms that govern plant resilience. The project integrates bioinformatics, molecular genetics, protein structural prediction, and experimental validation to investigate their roles in gene regulation and stress response. The postdoctoral researcher will lead efforts in gene characterization, reverse genetics and ligand screening using phenotyping and molecular genetic approaches. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to conceptual advances in plant stress hormone biology, while building tools and resources of broad utility to the plant science community. The successful candidate will join a highly interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Gregg Howe, with collaborators across PRI.
