Postdoctoral fellowships at the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS)
Su richiesta del prof. Roberto Tuberosa (Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Agroambientali, Università degli Studi di Bologna) si riporta il seguente bando:
IMPROVING TOLERANCE TO ABIOTIC STRESSES IN RICE
One aim of JIRCAS is to develop new varieties with improved stress tolerance. Being located in Japan, JIRCAS approaches this goal through basic research on tolerance mechanisms and underlying genes, while collaborators in the developing world focus on breeding and other applied sciences. Within this framework JIRCAS invites postdoctoral fellowship applications for the following projects:
1. Molecular cloning of the Pup1 gene (conferring tolerance to P deficiency)
2. Whole-genome association mapping based on 44k and 600k SNP platforms
3. Identification of genes associated with tolerance to zinc deficiency
4. Physiological, biochemical and genetic characterizations of ozone tolerance
5. Improving phosphorus use efficiency through genomic and agronomic means
QTLs associated with tolerance have been mapped and their effect has been confirmed in near isogenic lines for all projects. Microarray and SNP datasets as well as a large number of rice mutants are available via collaborations with organizations such as the Japanese Rice Genome Project, IRRI or the RiceSNP consortium.
The fellowship period is 2 years. Shorter fellowships can be arranged for senior PhD students wishing to do part of their thesis in collaboration with JIRCAS. This invitation to consider doing a PostDoc at JIRCAS is open-ended. Applications are usually accepted twice per year. Candidates should have a background in plant physiology, molecular biology, or a related field and should be interested in working in an international and interdisciplinary team.
