Description & Details

A postdoc position is available in the group of Dr. Zhengqing Fu at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. The area is molecular plant-pathogen interactions with a focus on salicylic acid signaling. We reported the first mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase called HopU1 in plants or plant pathogens (Fu et al., 2007 Nature 447: 284). HopU1, as a typeIII effector from the plant bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, targets novel substrates RNA-binding proteins to suppress plant defense. Recently, we identified NPR3 and NPR4 as the salicylic acid receptors in plants (Fu et al., 2012 Nature 486: 228). The research projects focus on two topics: how we can increase our understanding of salicylic acid signaling during plant defense against pathogen infection and how plant pathogens modify salicylic acid pathway to cause diseases.

We are seeking to recruit a creative and motivated person to fill this position. The incumbent is expected to develop innovative approaches to address fundamental questions in salicylic acid signaling and/or molecular plant-pathogen interactions. 

We are part of an interactive plant group of internationally recognized faculty (https://ww2.cas.sc.edu/biol/plant_sciences/overview). Columbia is located in the Midlands of South Carolina only two to three hours away from the Appalachian Mountains and the beautiful Atlantic coast line.

The position includes a competitive salary, health insurance and fringe benefits and is available for three years, depending on performance.

Qualifications:

A PhD degree in Plant Pathology, Plant Biology, Biochemistry or a closely related field

A solid publication record

Strong oral and written communication skills

Excellent molecular biology skills and knowledge in molecular plant-pathogen interactions

How to apply:

Please send a description of current and past research experience, research interests and future goals, a list of technical expertise, a CV, and e-mail addresses and phone numbers of at least two references to Zhengqing Fu at zfu@mailbox.sc.edu. Lab website:http://www.biol.sc.edu/faculty/Fu. Applications will be considered immediately until the position is filled.

The University of South Carolina is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
