The lab is using moss (Physcomitrium patens) as a model to
investigate various developmental biology-related questions
in plants. The lab routinely employs techniques such as
genetic manipulations, protein expression/purification, and
confocal microscopy observation. We encourage those
interested in plant biology to be part of the team.

We are actively seeking Research Assistants with an interest in chromatin biology, gene regulation, and functional genomics to join our team. The successful candidate will have strong organizational
skills and enthusiasm for working in a collaborative research environment. We investigate how disease-associated mutations in chromatin regulators and histones disrupt gene regulation.
Research Assistants will support ongoing projects through basic cloning, molecular biology and tissue culture, and will have opportunities to learn CRISPR-based mutagenesis and genomics
techniques.

Overview
We are seeking 1–2 postdoctoral fellows to join our lab in studying polymicrobial
interactions and host–microbe interactions with agricultural relevance. Our research
integrates comparative genomics, ecological sampling, microbial genetics, and
functional assays to understand how fungi, bacteria, and phages interact within
polymicrobial communities and how these interactions influence microbial pathogenesis
in plant hosts.
Our lab has strong expertise in functional genomics and experimental evolution, using
bottom-up approaches to address these questions. We welcome postdoctoral
researchers with complementary interests—such as plant immunity, evolutionary
genomics, or microbial ecology—to join our team. This position is ideal for recently
graduated PhD scientists who are passionate about microbial interactions and aspire to
pursue a faculty position in academia.
The position is open until filled.
Lab website: www.labofpie.org
Research Topics
1. Genetic basis of fungal–bacterial–phage interactions and their impact on
microbial community development
2. Comparative analysis of microbial pathogenic genes in single versus mixed
infections
3. Bioinformatic and evolutionary analysis of antimicrobial genes in plant pathogens
Job Responsibilities
1. Lead and contribute to independent and collaborative research projects
2. Design and conduct experiments and/or computational data analyses
3. Develop and maintain standardized laboratory protocols or bioinformatic
pipelines
4. Actively participate in manuscript preparation and scientific presentations
5. Mentor graduate and undergraduate researchers

We are seeking 1-2 M.S.-level research associates to join us in dissecting the
mechanisms and consequences of fungal-bacterial competition. We focus on the
interaction between Pseudomonas species and fungal plant pathogens. Using
ecological, functional genomic, and genetic approaches, we aim to determine whether
bacterial defense mechanisms are specific or general against multiple fungi, and vice
versa. Check our lab website: www.labofpie.org
Research topics
1. Functional genomic investigation of fungal or bacterial defense genes
2. Ecology and sampling of Pseudomonas species and interacting fungi in the wild
3. Co-evolutionary consequences of competing fungi and bacteria
Job description:
1. Lead and execute a small-scale independent research project.
2. Present data at the lab meeting and provide weekly research updates
3. Participate in joint lab meetings and journal clubs

This position is ideal for someone who seeks graduate-level training and have strong
interest in microbial ecology and genetics. This position is open until filled

We are looking to hire experienced mobile developers to help bring the PQConnect project to Android and iOS. PQConnect is a new easy-to-install layer of Internet security. It automatically applies post-quantum cryptography from end to end between computers running PQConnect, adding cryptographic protection to unencrypted applications, working in concert with existing pre-quantum applications to add post-quantum protection, and adding a second application-independent layer of defense to any applications that have begun to incorporate application-specific post-quantum protection. PQConnect works at the network layer similarly to a VPN, but is scalable in ways that most VPN applications are not. You can see more information at https://www.pqconnect.net
