Our group is always looking for smart, creative and hard working people to join the group. We are looking for people with good quantitative skills but don't mind kicking corn stalks for part of the summer.
People graduating from the lab often end up in academic, industry, and government positions. Postdocs never need a second postdoc, and graduate students frequently gets positions directly from their PhDs.
Postdoc Positions - Many postdocs come with their own funding. We are always able to find lots of interesting projects to pursue. The expectation for all incoming postdocs is two accepted articles in international journals with three preferred.
In addition, we currently have funded positions open:
Comparative Statistical Genetics - In collaboration with Gramene project and Susan McCouch, we are looking to determine approaches for comparative QTL mapping at the gene level between maize, rice, and Arabidopsis.
Maize Complex Traits Genetics - In collaboration with the Maize Diversity Project, we are taking a unprecedented look into the genetic architecture of plant height and flowering time. This position involves developing whole genome association mapping in maize and characterization of a couple QTL in tremendous detail.
Graduate Students - I am member of the Plant Breeding and Genetics field. Please apply through that field. In general, students joining the group get a diverse education is quantitative genetics, high throughput genomics, and experience with diverse germplasm in the field. Most students are expected to get support for part of the tenure - either through intramural or extramural fellowships.
