Job Opportunities

This postdoctoral position in the Weed Science lab at Washington State University-Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (WSU-The Winter Wheat Breeding Program at Washington State University is seeking qualified applicant for a 12-month, full-time, post-doctoral researcher position based on the WSU campus in Pullman, WA. The incumbent will assist in developing a research program focused on developing novel sources of herbicide tolerance in winter wheat. The researcher will screen large genetic populations with different herbicides to identify tolerance. Upon identification of lines tolerant to herbicides, there will be opportunities to investigate the genetic control of the tolerance, identify molecular markers associated with the tolerance, develop screening protocols, and make crosses to develop improved cultivars for commercialization. The long-term goal is to develop novel sources of herbicide tolerance and release commercial cultivars for production in Washington. The incumbent will also participate in outreach to grower groups, development of research proposals, and scholarly outputs.

Online applications must be received before 12:00 am on: April 14, 2025
