Post Doctoral Research Scholar
role at
North Carolina State University The Department of Crop and Soil Sciences encompasses various disciplines in research, extension, and teaching. The department’s mission is to develop future leaders in crop, soil and environmental sciences, improve crop plants and products, devise effective and sustainable crop production systems, devise effective and sustainable soil management techniques in both agriculture and urban settings; and disseminate crop, soil, and environmental science knowledge for the benefit of users and producers of food, feed turf, biofuels and fiber in North Carolina, the nation and the world. We are recruiting a postdoctoral scholar who will conduct research focused on understanding genotype-by-environment interactions, and/or environmental adaptation using quantitative/statistical genetics and machine learning. Alternatively, we are also considering candidates who have molecular biology experience, with an interest in scaling translatomic methods (e.g., Riboseq) to understand how sequence variation impacts translation efficiency. The postdoctoral scholar is expected to work in maize or other crop plants and to generate and analyze datasets from high throughput phenotyping and/or genomic, transcriptomic, or translatomic sequencing data. The scholar will also have the opportunity to develop professionally through mentoring students, writing manuscripts or grant proposals, and communicating research findings. Responsibilities: Conduct research focused on understanding genotype-by-environment interactions, and/or environmental adaptation using quantitative/statistical genetics and machine learning. Generate and analyze datasets from high throughput phenotyping and/or genomic, transcriptomic, or translatomic sequencing data. Mentor students, write manuscripts or grant proposals, and communicate research findings. Requirements: PhD in quantitative, statistical, and/or molecular genetics; genomics; plant breeding; and/or bioinformatics; or similar/related field. Experience in quantitative genetics, genomics, plant breeding, bioinformatics, statistical genetics, and/or molecular genetics. Programming experience in R, Python, bash, or similar programming languages Preferred Qualifications: Experience building, training, and interpreting results from machine learning models Fundamental knowledge of statistics and experimental design/analysis Experience with high-performance Linux computing environments NC State University is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive equal opportunities for employment without regard to age, color, disability, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, and veteran status. The University encourages all qualified applicants, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities, to apply. Individuals with disabilities requiring disability-related accommodations in the application and interview process are welcome to contact 919-513-0574 to speak with a representative of the Office of Equal Opportunity.
