PhD and Post-doc positions in Plant Biology at Purdue University

The laboratory of Yun Zhou in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Purdue University is looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic researchers to join the group. The research projects in the lab aim to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying plant meristem development and stem cell homeostasis, through a combination of molecular genetics, live cell imaging, biochemistry and functional genomic approaches (Zhou et al., Nature 2015; Zhou et al., Science 2018; Han et al., Nature Communications 2020).

The PhD position is available for Spring of 2023 (and Fall of 2023). The research assistantship of a PhD student provides fully financial support including the tuition waiver and stipend. English proficiency test (TOEFL or IELTS) is required for non-native English-speaking international applicants. Students with BS or MS in plant biology or related fields, with great passion in studying plant development/cell signaling/ transcriptional regulatory circuits, are encouraged to apply. If you are interested, please email directly to Dr. Zhou (zhouyun@purdue.edu) the following documents: CV, a statement of research interests, and transcripts.

The postdoc position is immediately available until filled. The candidates with strong training background in plant cell and developmental biology or molecular genetics are encouraged to apply. If you are interested, please email directly to Dr. Zhou (zhouyun@purdue.edu) the following documents: CV, a statement of research interests, and a list of publications.
