Postdoc Scholar/Stergiopoulos lab Position Overview: The posted UC salary scales set the minimum pay determined by rank and/or step at appointment.
See Table 23: Postdoctoral Scholar-Employee, Postdoctoral Scholar-Fellow, Postdoctoral Scholar-Paid ()
Direct, Fiscal Year. The salary range for this position is $60,000-$71,952. 'Off-scale salaries', i.e., a salary that is higher than the published system-wide salary at the designated rank and step, are offered when necessary to meet competitive conditions, qualifications, and experience.
BACKGROUND The Stergiopoulos lab at the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of California Davis is seeking for a highly skilled and motivated post-doctoral fellow in the fields of Fungal Biology and (Molecular) Plant Pathology, with an interest in the identification and validation of molecular targets for novel bio-based antifungals. This is an industry funded position that will enable the post-doctoral fellow to interact closely with leading experts in the field of biological products for disease control. The Stergiopoulos lab research portfolio includes studying host-microbe interactions, fungicide resistance, and RNA silencing in fungi. We use system-level approaches that integrate genomics with classical genetics and biochemical analyses in order to identify and subsequently functionally characterize target genes in fungal plant pathogens.
JOB DESCRIPTION The post-doctoral fellow will be drawn from the field of Fungal Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Plant Pathology, Plant Pathology or related disciplines and will lead the efforts in identifying and validating putative antifungal targets in select fungal plant pathogens. The initial focus will be on Cercosopra spp. but other fungal plant pathogens may be targeted as well. Specific lines of research include, but are not limited to, identifying antifungal targets through combing existing knowledge in fungal biology with -omics data produced by the industry partner, and further functionally characterizing these targets with respect to their intrinsic function, contribution to virulence and fungal fitness. The position is for two-years at an 100% appointment. Salary and benefits are based on experience and qualifications according to the UC Davis pay-scales (). UC Davis provides a highly vibrant intellectual atmosphere, a pleasant college environment, and career development activities specifically designed for post-doctoral scholars ().
