Two postdoctoral researcher positions are available in Dr. Hailing Jin’s Laboratory at University of California, Riverside to study RNA trafficking and extracellular vesicle-mediated communications between plants and pathogens (<i>Science</i> 2018, 360:1126-1129;
<i>Science</i> 2013, 342:118-123; <i>Nature Plants</i> 2016, 2:16151; <i>Nature Plants</i> 2021, DOI:10.1038/s41477-021-00863-8). The successful candidate will utilize molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and cell biology approaches to study the functional
mechanisms of extracellular vesicles, the transported RNAs and other molecules in plant immunity and pathogen virulence.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Qualification and Experience</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:16.0pt">
Applicants should have recently received a Ph.D. in molecular biology, fungal biology, plant biology, biochemistry, or related disciplines. Highly motivated candidates with strong background and experience in RNA biology, vesicle transport and trafficking and/or host-pathogen
interactions are encouraged to apply. Good publication record and prior experience in bioinformatics are highly desirable. Good written and oral communication skills and the ability to work well in a collaborative environment are also required. <o:p></o:p></p>
