United States

Full consideration by 1 November 2026; review continues until filled.

About This Opportunity

Clemson University advertises Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Single-Nuclei Transcriptomics and CRISPR in Plants, focusing on developmental transcriptional regulation and functional genomics in asteraceae.

This Clemson University CapituLab postdoctoral project focuses on molecular and developmental mechanisms in the sunflower family, distinguished by single-nuclei transcriptomics, high-throughput transcription factor mapping and CRISPR-based gene editing. The appointed researcher will perform developmental molecular analyses, test gene function and mentor students working on lab projects. The full-time non-tenure-track role is a twelve-month appointment expected to start on 15 January 2027. The preferred profile combines plant molecular and developmental biology with computational experience; familiarity with plant single-nuclei transcriptomics is an advantage. The institutional application requires a CV, application letter and contact details for two references through Interfolio. Full consideration is by 1 November 2026, although review continues until filled.Academic preparation and entry profile: PhD in a relevant field and a documented record of excellence in molecular research.Application timing: Full consideration by 1 November 2026; review continues until filled.Who This Opportunity Is Best Suited For: Based on the documented project scope, this opportunity may be particularly suited to applicants whose preparation includes PhD in a relevant field and a documented record of excellence in molecular research; researchers interested in working with Single-nuclei transcriptomics, Transcription factor mapping, CRISPR genome editing, R, Python. This is an editorial fit assessment, not an admissions determination.Potential Challenges / Who May Find It Less Suitable: Relevant considerations are the specialized technical breadth may require significant preparation. The exact implications depend on the stated eligibility and appointment terms.Overall Opportunity Assessment: The distinctive focus is developmental transcriptional regulation and functional genomics in asteraceae. Applicants should weigh the verified research methods, qualifications and any stated funding or mobility conditions against their research goals.
