***********

Donald Danforth Plant Science Center is seeking a new faculty Member at the Assistant or Associate ranks. Diverse candidates from all disciplines are sought who are using creative approaches in any area of science that can be applied to plants and their environment. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the Danforth Center is an independent, not-for-profit research institute  dedicated to improving the human condition through plant science. The Danforth Center addresses global challenges by facilitating fundamental discovery and enabling translation into entrepreneurial and humanitarian solutions.



Home to 28 independent laboratories, the Center is the hub of a vibrant plant-science community consisting of public and private entities that provide employment opportunities for trainees, fertile ground for collaborative projects, and a means for translational work. We have made significant investments to broaden and deepen our capability to understand the phenotypic consequences of plant genetic diversity and complex environmental interactions above and below-ground. These include the areas of sensing and dynamic imaging, computer vision and machine learning, and computational and quantitative biology, including applied mathematics. The Center continues to expand its research portfolio to encompass plants and their environment from nano- to ecosystem-scales.



The Center boasts state-of-the-art core facilities in Data Science, Advanced Bioimaging, automated Phenotyping, Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry, Plant Transformation, and Plant Growth, as well as two Institutes focused on plant-based renewable energy and international crop improvement. Candidates are expected to establish and maintain active and productive extramurally-funded research programs, and to engage with the broader plant science and education communities.  Most Members have Adjunct Faculty appointments at partner universities through which graduate students and undergraduates can be recruited and trained. An award-winning Education and Outreach program and NSF REU internship program further supports faculty engagement with students and teachers locally and nationally. Generous start-up packages are provided by the Center. Initial appointments for Assistant Members are 6 years, with 5-year renewals thereafter.
