🌿 Postdoctoral & PhD Positions – Plant Stress Signaling | Louisiana State University
Lab: Wang Lab
Department: Biological Sciences
Institution: Louisiana State University
Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
Start Date: Fall 2026 / Spring 2027 / Fall 2027
The Wang Lab at Louisiana State University is recruiting one Postdoctoral Researcher and two PhD students to join a new research group studying plant stress responses and signaling networks.
The lab aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms of plant growth regulation and stress adaptation, focusing on kinase signaling, autophagy, and stress granules in plant systems.
🔬 Research Focus
The group integrates multiple approaches to understand plant cellular signaling and stress adaptation:
- Molecular biology and genetics
- Biochemistry and cell biology
- Advanced imaging techniques
- Multi-omics approaches
The long-term goal is to understand regulatory networks that help plants adapt to environmental stress and improve crop resilience.
💼 Positions Available
Postdoctoral Researcher (1 position)
- Minimum salary: $52,000/year + benefits and health insurance
- Initial 1-year appointment, renewable based on performance and funding
PhD Students (2 positions)
- Full financial support, including stipend, tuition, and health insurance (via TA appointments)
🎓 Eligibility
Postdoctoral Applicants
- PhD in Plant Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, or related field
PhD Applicants
- B.S. or M.S. in Biology or related discipline
🧠 Preferred Experience
Candidates with experience in the following areas are especially encouraged to apply:
- Kinase signaling or phosphorylation pathways
- Autophagy or stress granules
- Plant model systems (e.g., Arabidopsis, Nicotiana)
- Confocal microscopy or imaging-based approaches
- Molecular or cell biology techniques
- Publication record (for postdoc candidates)
🌟 What the Lab Offers
- Opportunity to join a new and growing research group
- Collaborative and supportive research environment
