28. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
In this project, our aim is to identify novel targets, genes, and pathways involved in sensing compaction in rice root tips. Building on our previous work (Pandey et al., Science, 2021, and Huang et al., PNAS, 2022), we aim to understand how hormone-based pathways interact with mechanosignalling targets to help root tips grow in compacted soil conditions. More specifically, we want to study post-translational modifications regulating root response to soil compaction stress. This position is especially suited for candidates with an interest in root mechanobiology, non-invasive imaging of root cells, and molecular biology. All the technologies required for the project are currently performed in our laboratory.
