The Lowry Lab at Michigan State University is seeking to hire a Research Technologist I to work on a large collaborative project studying adaptation to abiotic and biotic stresses in the bioenergy feedstock switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), in the Lowry Lab. The successful candidate will participate in research focused on understanding the mechanisms of abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in switchgrass and how those stresses impact feedstock deconstruction and bioenergy conversion. The research will be primarily located at the Kellogg Biological Station in western Michigan until December 2024. At that point, the job will be relocated to the main Michigan State University Campus in East Lansing, MI. The work will be primarily field-based in warmer months and primarily laboratory-based in colder months. The technician will be expected to organize data collection efforts and coordinate these efforts with a larger team across MSU and at other research universities and USDA field stations. The position will begin as early as May 2024, but the start date is negotiable.
