Prospective Graduate Students
I am not currently accepting graduate student applications.
Postdoctoral Scholar Opportunities:
The Brodersen Lab (https://campuspress.yale.edu/brodersenlab/) at the Yale School of the Environment has an open postdoctoral scholar position to work on a collaborative project funded by the Human Frontiers Science Program on leaf physiology and biomechanics. The goal of the project is to understand the developmental processes and structural optimization that reconcile photosynthetic efficiency with mechanical stability. Collaborators include engineers, evolutionary/developmental biologists.
The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for independent projects related to the goals of the research team, as well as collaborative projects with other team members/labs. Opportunities for mentoring students, professional development, and working within a highly interdisciplinary will be provided.
Qualified applicants should be no more than 2 years past the completion of their PhD, should be trained in plant physiology and anatomy, with extensive experience working with both Arabidopsis and advanced imaging techniques (including, but not limited to: confocal/lightsheet microscopy, X-ray microCT imaging), machine learning, and programming in R and Python.
Funding is available for up to three years, with a start date of July 1, 2024 or soon thereafter. The starting salary is $65,000 plus benefits.
Please send a cover letter indicating your motivation for joining the team, a CV listing research experience, technical skills, relevant published journal articles, and names and contact information for three references to craig.brodersen@yale.edu with “HFSP Postdoc” in the subject line.
