PLANT GENETICS GENOME ENGINEERING

Assistant Professor (tenure track)

Purdue University, Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture (HLA)

West Lafayette, Indiana

Duties: The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture is seeking candidates for a tenure track position in plant genetics and genome engineering. The successful candidate will establish a vigorous, externally funded, internationally recognized research program and will utilize state-of-the-art gene editing technologies such as TALEN and CRISPR/Cas. Research on the application of gene editing technologies in horticultural crops to understand and improve traits, including but not limited to biotic and abiotic stress resistance, nutritional value, or postharvest quality, is highly desirable. State-of-the-art laboratory, greenhouse, controlled-environment, and open-field plant-growth facilities are available within the Purdue HLA Department and College of Agriculture. This will be an academic-year position with a primary research appointment. The successful candidate will contribute to the teaching program in topic areas such as plant genetics, and cellular and molecular physiology. The individual will serve as a member of the graduate faculty and be expected to mentor graduate students and post-doctoral research associates. Numerous opportunities exist for collaborative research within the HLA Department and across the biology research community at Purdue University which is seeking to reinvigorate its plant science programs. Collaborative research at regional, national, and international levels is strongly encouraged. Further information about the position may be obtained from the either of the co-chairs of the search committee: Drs. Ray Bressan (bressan@purdue.edu) and Jian-Kang Zhu (jkzhu@purdue.edu).

Qualifications: A Ph.D. degree in plant genetics, plant science, horticulture or biochemistry, or a closely related field. Experience in molecular genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, and a multidisciplinary orientation would be valuable. Although the appointment has no formal engagement component, the position has obvious broader impact dimensions in outreach, local and international agriculture and commercial industry interactions.
