Fellow (Post Doc)

Kansas State University

About This Role

The Nouri Lab (Plant Virology) in the Department of Plant Pathology at Kansas State University is seeking a motivated and qualified postdoctoral researcher to join our team. The successful candidate will contribute to an innovative project focused on developing a novel viral vector for gene and guide RNA delivery into cereal crops, including sorghum.

Our lab recently identified a new plant RNA virus infecting cereals. This discovery provides a unique opportunity to explore the virus biology and leverage its potential as a delivery vector for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and gene-editing applications in monocots, including major cereal species. The position offers excellent opportunities for both basic and translational research.

About Us

We study plant health to understand life. Plants, animals, and microbes share common basic features. Research on plant genomics helps define gene function in other forms of life, even humans. Plants feed, clothe, and protect us. They provide energy for a variety of uses. They enhance the quality of our lives. They are crucial to our existence.
