Postdoctoral in Plant-Microbe Interactions: A fully funded Postdoctoral Scholar position is available at the Cantó-Pastor lab, Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University. The position aims to develop new transcriptomics and microscopy tools for mapping plant-microbe interactions at single-cell resolution, with a focus on the regulation of plant immunity and systemic resistance.
Postdoctoral Scholar Position in Plant-Microbe Interactions & Regulatory Networks
- Designation: Postdoctoral Scholar
- Research Area: Plant-Microbe Interactions, Regulatory Networks, Transcriptomics, Microscopy, Plant Immunity
- Location: Yale University, Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
