- agrilife.org/avilalab) is recruiting for a highly motivated postdoc to work on a project to develop molecular tools for spinach breeding for disease resistance.
- spinachdb.org ), funded by the new USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative project 2023-51181-41321, which builds on the previous SCRI project to develop spinach germplasm resources and molecular breeding tools to combat endemic and emerging diseases affecting spinach production in the USA.
- The goal of the Texas A&M vegetable program is to develop spinach cultivars adapted to Texas with improved quality and resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stresses using conventional, molecular breeding, and novel high-throughput phenotyping approaches (e.g. unmanned aerial systems).
- The appointee will use Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology to conduct genetic association and linkage studies using breeding lines and worldwide germplasm collections to develop association panels and mapping populations.
- PhD in plant genetics, plant genomics, plant breeding, or related area.
