About this opportunity
Supports genome-wide, systems-level studies in plants and the development of genomic tools to advance plant functional genomics. Projects will strive to achieve a systems-level understanding of genes, genomes and complex multigenic traits in plants essential for advancing biotechnology and translational science. Areas of interest could include, but are not limited to, the study of: Multi-genome/epigenome interactions with the environment, Biotic and abiotic interactions among plants and partner organisms on a genome-wide scale, High throughput phenotyping to link genomes to phenomes, Manipulation of multiple genes using modular components and engineering principles Incorporation of engineering, quantitative modeling, and artificial intelligence into research activities, Building bridges ac...
