Dear All, After a year where we did not conduct our yearly RosEXEC election we are now ready to resume and hold the 2021 elections. RosEXEC members who were due to rotate out in 2021 and 2022 have graciously agreed to add one more year to their term to make up for the lost year of meetings. We thank domestic members Dario Chavez, Janet Slovin, Ellen Thomson, Margaret Worthington , and international liaisons Felicidad Fernado, Craig Hardiner and Max Cheng for their service on this committee. We are now looking for people to be nominated to serve on the RosEXEC. If you are nominating someone, please check with them that they are willing to be nominated and understand what is required if they are elected. For current members and their terms, please see the membership page at https://www.rosaceae.org/community/rosexec_2020<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>. In the attached sheet, you'll see the current members, their terms and the region that they coming from as well as the crop group focus. In the past, we have really tried to make sure that there is even distribution amongst the institution (Industry, University, Government) region (S, E, W, N) and crop group focus. Based on that, it looks like we need more representatives from the South and East and for international Liaisons we need representatives for Europe and New Zealand/Australia. This is an example of the nomination request to targeted folks (add in personal comments to entice and sway them to apply!): Hi ______, I hope that this finds you well! Today, I'm writing to you to nominate you for a three-year-term U.S. membership in RosEXEC - the U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Executive Committee (www.rosaceae.org/community/us_rosexec<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefens…>) or a two year term if an international liaison. The mission of RosEXEC is to: * Serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding community. * Define research priorities based on input from the industry and research community. * Facilitate scientific interaction and foster dynamic research teams. * Promote research priorities. * Coordinate educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public. * Serve as an official steering committee for the Genome Database for Rosaceae An election will take place from March 22 to March 31 . Any U.S. Rosaceae genomics, genetics, and breeding researcher or interested party is allowed to cast a vote. The five domestic candidates and two international liaison candidates with the most votes will join RosEXEC from April 2021 to January 2024 for the domestic members and April 2021 to Jumuary 2023 for international liaisons. To help inform voters, two items are provided on every candidate: (1) a brief statement (100-word max) on proposed contributions to the RosEXEC mission (2) a short CV (1-2 pages are fine) If you are willing to become a RosEXEC member, could you please send me the above two items for you? These documents will be uploaded to the GDR, with links to them on the voting page. Thanks for considering officially supporting the RosEXEC mission.

Postdoc position for Citrus scion breeding with USDA Ag, Research Service in Ft. Pierce, FL

by Jung, Sook

Posted by Ed Stover, ed.stover(a)usda.gov<mailto:ed.stover@usda.gov> ------------------------------------- We have grant funds for a postdoc to work on citrus scion breeding. The ideal candidate would have a strong interest in genomics-driven conventional breeding, complemented with an interest in physiological markers for disease tolerance. It is likely that the permanent ARS scion breeding position would become vacant near the end of this postdoc appointment and, if so, the postdoc with experience in this program could be a strong candidate to compete for this position. The successful candidate will be working with what is likely the most extensive array of citrus scion material ever developed and in an era of abundant funding for related work . The position is at the US Horticultural Research Lab in Ft. Pierce, FL. There are about 25 faculty at this site and 200 employees. It is in a very desirable location, seven miles from excellent beaches, world-class fishing etc. It is immediately adjacent to a University of Florida research center and a few miles from Indian River State College. Interested scientists should contact ed.stover@usda,gov<mailto:ed.stover@usda,gov> US citizenship will greatly expedite hiring. Position starts at 66K with full federal benefits -------------------------------------------------- Sook Jung, Ph.D. Assistant Research Professor of Bioinformatics Department of Horticulture Washington State University

Post Doctoral Position at Clemson University

by Ksenija Gasic

The Peach Team in the Department of Plant and Environmental Science, at Clemson University, seeks to employ a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to conduct research to unravel the genetic basis of Armillaria Root Rot (ARR) resistance/tolerance/susceptibility in Prunus species. This position will be dynamically integrated among an interdisciplinary research team as part of newly funded USDA-Specialty Crop Research Initiative program entitled "Solutions to the Armillaria root rot threat affecting the U.S. stone fruit industry". The long-term goal of the project is to improve the profitability and sustainability of the U.S. stone fruit and nut industries through the development of Armillaria Root Rot - resistant and horticulturally acceptable rootstocks. The outcomes of this proposal will provide the 'building blocks' needed to enable and accelerate on-going Prunus breeding programs, as well as support the testing of cultural practices as short-term solutions to increase tree longevity on replant sites. A combination of novel horticultural approaches with immediate implementation will be combined with genomics, genetic diversity, metabolomics and functional genomics approaches to discover natural (local and exotic) sources of ARR resistance and translate it directly into DNA and biochemical diagnostic tools that will lead to novel rootstocks for long-term sustainability of the peach, cherry, and almond industries. This position is located at the Clemson University main campus and will focus on identifying, characterizing, and utilizing sources of durable genetic resistance to Armillaria/Desarmillaria to enable breeding solutions for ARR resistance/tolerance; monitoring effects of short- and long-term system approaches to manage ARR; and participate in outreach activities to facilitate the adoption of results. The application period is open until suitable candidate is found. Review and selection of applicants will start after October 16th. The announcement can be viewed using the following link: https://apply.interfolio.com/78924 We seek applicants who have a strong background in horticulture, plant molecular genetics, genomics, and functional genomics. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability and willingness to work in both field and in the molecular lab in a collaborative research environment are essential. Applications must be submitted electronically and include a resume that includes educational background, publications, and work experience (Ph.D. thesis and beyond), as well as a brief statement of research interests and goals. Please also provide contact information for at least three references. This position requires a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in the field of horticulture, plant sciences, genetics, plant breeding or related disciplines. This is a fixed-term appointment funded on yearly basis until the end of the project (August 2024) from date of hire. More information about Clemson University and resources for Postdoctoral scholars can be found in the following website: https://www.clemson.edu/research/post-docs/.
