The postdoctoral scholarship will be placed at the Department of Plant Physiology (Umeå University), that is part of Umeå Plant Science Centre. We seek a highly motivated candidate for this project in Jian-Feng Mao’s research group.
What if we could decode the hidden language within plant genomes that controls their resilience to climate change, their growth patterns, and their ability to feed our growing population? Beyond the protein-coding genes we’ve traditionally studied lies an unexplored frontier of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) – mysterious genetic elements that don’t create proteins but profoundly influence how plants develop and respond to their environment. Our research group has pioneered computational tools to identify these genetic elements, but we’re now ready to make a quantum leap forward using the revolutionary power of artificial intelligence.
