Two postdoc opportunities to study tree architecture at Cornell University, Geneva, NY and at the USDA ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Kearneysville, WV

by Sook Jung

*Two postdoc opportunities to study tree architecture at Cornell University, Geneva, NY and at the USDA ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Kearneysville, WV * We are seeking two postdoctoral scientists to study molecular and genetic aspects of tree architecture as part of a project newly funded by NSF Plant Genome Research Program. The aims of this project are to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying a phenomenon called apical control that regulates tree structures. Both positions will be hired through Cornell University and are anticipated to begin as early as February 2015 and are funded for a period of at least 3 years. A postdoc specializing in apple will be based at Cornell University, Geneva, NY under the guidance of Dr. Kenong Xu. A postdoc specializing in Prunus species (peach and plum) will be based at the USDA ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Kearneysville WV under the guidance of Dr. Chris Dardick. The postdocs will conduct genetic analyses to identify causative genes responsible for mutant growth habits, perform yeast two-hybrid screens, create transgenic apple or Prunus knock-down and over-expression lines, and carry out image-based phenotyping and transcriptional profiling studies of wild type and mutant apple or Prunus meristems. As part of the research program, both postdocs will be expected to interact with the entire research team as well as with growers and industry leaders to communicate the practical applications of their findings. Successful candidates should have a background in plant development and be skilled in molecular techniques. Specific experience in horticultural crops is desired but not necessary as candidates with complementary experience in model plant systems are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates should be able to work independently, devise appropriate hypotheses and experiments, and learn new skills as appropriate. Strong writing and communication skills are also required. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in plant genetics, molecular biology, development, or a related field. Qualified minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Applying: Interested applicants should send a cover letter highlighting your qualifications and research interests, your current CV, copies of graduate degree transcripts, and contact information for three references to both project leaders: Apple: Dr. Kenong Xu at kx27(a)cornell.edu and Prunus: Dr. Chris Dardick at chris.dardick(a)ars.usda.gov Review of applications will begin at the time they are received and will continue until both positions are filled.

New Postdoc Positions with RosBREED Project

by Peace, Cameron

Postdoc Opportunities in U.S. with RosBREED Project We are seeking postdoctoral associates for key positions in the newly funded RosBREED project (www.rosbreed.org). RosBREED is a U.S-wide collaboration among breeders, geneticists, physiologists, pathologists, and socio-economists of Rosaceae crops. This project seeks to develop and apply modern DNA-based diagnostic tools to help deliver new cultivars with superior horticultural quality and disease resistance. We are seeking two postdocs to begin 1 January 2015. The Prunus Postdoc will be based at Clemson University under the guidance of Dr. Ksenija Gasic and will focus on Prunus crops, primarily peach but not cherry. The Apple & Cherry Postdoc will be based at Washington State University under the guidance of Dr. Cameron Peace and will focus on apple, sweet cherry, and tart cherry. A third postdoc focusing on strawberry, blackberry, rose, and pear will later be sought to begin from 1 September 2015, to be based at USDA-Corvallis. All positions are funded through to 31 August 2019 - i.e., at least four years. Activities: All postdocs will conduct genetic research in QTL discovery, DNA test development both locus-specific and genome-wide, and applied marker-assisted breeding (MAB). These research associates will be the primary liaisons helping U.S. Rosaceae crop breeders to convert new DNA information and other project advances into breeding impact, using cutting-edge technologies, software, and knowledge. Two six-month internships with project partners outside the U.S. (e.g., in Europe, New Zealand, & Australia) are expected for each postdoc during the project's duration. Qualifications: Active research communication is expected in the form of scientific publications, extension articles, participation in conferences and project meetings, and networking across breeding programs and allied science programs both U.S-wide and internationally. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Plant Breeding, Horticultural Genetics, or a closely related field. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated team player with excellent communication skills and extensive experience in statistical genetics and linkage analysis. Preference will be given to candidates with evidence of successful management of large datasets, substantial research productivity, a strong publication record, experience with perennial, clonally propagated crop genetics, and a commitment to practical application. Familiarity with Rosaceae crop breeding germplasm and Pedigree-Based Analysis software are also advantageous. Applying: If you are interested in the Prunus Postdoc or the Apple & Cherry Postdoc position, please email a cover letter highlighting your qualifications, your current CV, copies of graduate degree transcripts, and contact information (phone number and email address) of three referees to either: Prunus: Dr. Ksenija Gasic at kgasic(a)clemson.edu or Apple & Cherry: Dr. Cameron Peace at cpeace(a)wsu.edu Please direct questions on either position to the same email addresses. Consideration of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.

GDR News

by Main, Doreen

Hi Folks, Just wanted to let you know that GDR has been funded for the next 5 to 10 years by the USDA NIFA Specialty Crop Research Program. We are also receiving funds for the next 5 to 10 years to further develop the Tripal database platform that GDR uses and this will further help us deliver a sustainable database that we hope meets the communities short and long term needs. To help ensure this the US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics and Breeding Executive Committee, known as RosEXEC (which contains non US international liaisons) has kindly agreed to serve as the GDR steering committee. We will present quarterly progress reports to them, together with planned activities for the next quarter and receive feedback from them. Our plans for the next 5 years will be posted on GDR in the next couple of weeks and we will start issuing quarterly newsletters to the GDR mailing list. Thank you for your tremendous support over the last 12 years of GDR, clearly we could not do this without you. Here is to the next ten years of GDR development.
