Plant Biology cluster at UC Berkeley

Just got this in the intertubes:

Please forward

Dear Botanical Friends & Colleagues,

The department of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley is hiring a cluster of Plant Biologists focusing on researchers investigating processes associated with plant adaptation, including evolutionary genetics & developmental evolution, broadly. We have two tenure-track positions at the Assistant Level and one at a Senior Level (Associate or Full). The senior hire will be involved as a leader in the Innovative Genomics Institute (https://innovativegenomics.org/)with specific funding to develop genome editing as a tool for basic and applied plant research.

For Applicants at the Assistant Professor level: https:https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01177

For Applicants at the Associate Professor or Professor level: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01198

Please feel free to circulate this ad to anyone you think might be interested in joining and contributing to this exciting cluster — the application deadline is Monday, November 14. I’ve attached the full ad as a pdf below.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these hires — I’d love to see many applicants from the botanical and plant evolutionary biology community!! We are particularly interested in hires who can contribute to and benefit from a diverse and inclusive environment for scholarship.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
