Recruitment notice

Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Xiuren Zhang in Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Texas A&M University (http://plantrnasilencing.tamu.edu). The Zhang lab utilizes a combination of molecular, biochemical, genetic, -omics and artificial intelligence approaches to understand RNA silencing including epigenetics and posttranscriptional gene silencing in plants, with recent expansion into RNA biology in different organisms. The Zhang lab also studies host-microbe interaction at different genetic layers. The successful candidates will actively participate in, but not be limited to, the following projects:

1) Comprehensively study several novel genes and components in RNA silencing identified through our genetic and biochemical screening systems.

2) Genetic codes embedded in RNA secondary structures and epitranscriptome。

3) Host-microbe interaction at the epigenetic level or other genetic pathways.

Applicants should process a fresh Ph.D. degree with solid training in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and/or basic computational analysis with at least one first-authored publication(s) in a prestigious journal from their PhD work. Candidates should be highly motivated and ambitious with excellent English communication skills. Whereas we have numerous promising projects in hands, we also encourage postdoc fellows to develop their own identities in research directions based on our platform.

Applications are accepted immediately until the positions are filled. The baseline for annual salary for postdoc fellows will be $50,000/year, starting from Sept. 2023, in Texas A&M where the cost expense is much lower than that in metropolitan cities. The initial appointments are for two years, and reappointment will depend on satisfactory job performance and mutual agreement. Interested applicants should send a CV, a summary of research experience, and contact information for at least three references by email to xiuren.zhang@tamu.edu.
