The Department of Plant Pathology at Kansas State University is seeking a Fellow Post-Doc in the Tran Lab to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between bacterial pathogenesis and plant immunity responses. Research goals are flexible, but projects in the lab focus on understanding the regulations of plant immunity via membrane nanodomains, microbial effectors biology, and biofilm mechanics that facilitates bacterial virulence. We work on a diverse range of pathosystems, including Arabidopsis, tomato, potato, lettuce, etc. Bacterial pathogens of our special focus are Ralstonia solanacearum, Xanthomonas spp., and the plant-associated human pathogen Salmonella enterica.
Job Responsibility:
Study the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between bacterial pathogenesis and plant immunity responses
Understanding the regulations of plant immunity via membrane nanodomains, microbial effectors biology, and biofilm mechanics that facilitates bacterial virulence
Requirements:
Ph.D. in plant pathology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology, or a related field
Excellent skills in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology
Experience working with plants and/or plant pathogenic bacteria
Experience in CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, VIGS, RNAi in model and/or crop plants and single-cell-omics
Track-record of high-quality peer-reviewed publications
Highly motivated, independent, and will contribute to an enthusiastic and collegial environment
Experience training and mentoring students in a laboratory setting
