The Lowry Lab in the Department of Plant Biology at Michigan State
University (MSU) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will
conduct DOE-funded research on field and genomic datasets that have been
collected from large switchgrass experiments over the past decade.
Switchgrass is a native North American plant that is ideal for studies of
climate adaptation and is being improved through breeding for the future
Bioeconomy (Biofuels and Bioproducts). Responsibilities will primarily
include conducting statistical/genomic analyses and leading the writing of
manuscripts. However, there is also the opportunity for this postdoc, if
they choose, to oversee parts of the switchgrass field experiment/breeding
program and conduct experiments on resilience to environmental stresses.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate is expected to work collaboratively
with members of the Lowry Lab at Michigan State University, including
undergraduate and graduate students as well as technicians, to carry out
this research. The successful applicant will also be expected to attend
meetings of the DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and MSU Plant
Resilience Institute and participate in the annual switchgrass harvest in
Michigan.

Please submit applications by November 10th through the CAREERS@MSU portal:
