Postdoctoral position available at the Lab of Plant Genomics and Genetics, Kazusa

A postdoctoral position is available at the Lab of Plant Genomics and Genetics, Kazusa DNA Research Institute (KDRI), Kisarazu, Japan. The project will use NGS to carry out a large-scale genomics and/or genetics study primarily on practical plant species. We seek a scientist who has experience and knowledge in plant genomics and genetics, and who is willing to develop a novel analytical approach for plant genomics/genetics in both wet and dry approaches.

Background and setting

The lab has performed de novo whole-genome sequencing and large-scale genetic analyses of a wide range of plant species for basic and applied research fields. Recently, we have focused on the development of novel genomic and genetic approaches for species that have complex genome structures such as polyploidy. The institute is located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, approximately 1 hour from Tokyo by public transportation.
