Postdoc and PhD Student Positions: The Plant Nematology Lab at Purdue University, led by Dr. Lei Zhang, is seeking a Postdoc and a PhD student to join their research team. The research will focus on basic and translational nematology research aimed at developing novel methodologies for effective nematode management. Plant-parasitic nematodes, microscopic soil-borne roundworms, cause significant annual crop losses valued at $118 billion worldwide. This lab’s work seeks to enhance our understanding of plant resistance to nematodes, plant-nematode-microbe interactions, and nematode biology at various levels. Research results from this lab have been published in prestigious journals, including Nature Plants, PLOS Pathogens, Molecular Plant Pathology, and Plant Disease.
