Postdoctoral Research Position in Plant-Microbe Interactions


A postdoctoral research position is available in plant science with a focus on plant-microbe-soil interactions in the Russo lab (russolab.unl.edu<applewebdata://49D6743A-D8E6-460F-B141-504EB2AA23DE/russolab.unl.edu/>) in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln (biosci.unl.edu<http://biosci.unl.edu/>). The position is part of a multi-PI NSF-funded project (crri.unl.edu/about-crri<http://www.crri.unl.edu/about-crri>) investigating plant-microbe interactions in natural grassland and agricultural systems. The postdoctoral fellow will work collaboratively with other project investigators on multi-disciplinary field, greenhouse, and lab-based research to examine how microbial community structure and function influence plant phenotypes using genomic and phenomic methods, and will also have the opportunity to develop independent projects.

Members of the Russo lab work broadly in plant ecology and diversity. Qualified candidates will be creative, independent, and motivated scientists with a PhD and track-record of scientific publication in the following or related areas: plant-microbe interactions, plant ecology or physiology, bioinformatics or -omics approaches. Interested candidates should send a single PDF document with a cover letter explaining their interests and experience and a CV listing the names and contact information of three references to Dr. Sabrina Russo (srusso2 at unl.edu<mailto:srusso2 at unl.edu>) with the subject line, “CRRI Postdoctoral Position”. Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. See: http://russolab.unl.edu/links.html

UNL has excellent research facilities and an interactive scientific community. The position offers a competitive salary, benefits, and career development opportunities for postdocs (postdoc.unl.edu<http://postdoc.unl.edu/>). Lincoln is a safe city boasting an outstanding quality of life that includes a vibrant downtown with lively music and art scenes, over 120 parks and 130 miles of bike trails, plus a low cost of living.
