中心簡介：
福建農林大學植物基因組與農業(yè)生物技術研究中心主要以甘蔗、木瓜等熱帶亞熱帶作物以及區(qū)域特色作物為研究對像，旨在建設成為國內具有較大影響力植物學研究中心，在甘蔗基礎研究領域以及植物的有性生殖研究領域達到國際先進水平。根據(jù)學校的授權，中心的實驗室建設、管理，人事制度、研究培養(yǎng)、科研管理等方面將根據(jù)相關法規(guī)實行學者治理、學術自治的管理體制。
　　中心的宗旨
中心的宗旨分兩部分：1）應用前沿技術進一步解析植物發(fā)育與生殖的機制；2）通過對模式植物、作物、林樹和園藝作物進行綜合性研究，應用基因組學、分子生物學、生物技術和相關技術手段加快進行作物品種改良。
中心為學生、博士后提供培訓學習機會，促進跨學科和國際交流。
　    研究方向
中心的研究方向包括生物能源植物的生物量，熱帶亞熱帶植物基因組結構與功能，高倍體植物劑量效應和雜種優(yōu)勢，被子植物性染色體和性別決定，植物生殖系統(tǒng)的遺傳調控，基因網(wǎng)絡與互作，熱帶亞熱帶水果營養(yǎng)和保鮮期，作物對病蟲害與逆境的抗性。

Job Type: Postdoctoral

Full Description:
Four post-doctoral Research Associate positions are available to investigate the origin and evolution of sex chromosomes in papaya and the genomic basis of biomass yield in sugarcane. Papaya is a model system for studying the early events of sex chromosome evolution (Liu et al. 2004 Nature 427:348-352; Wang et al. 2012 PNAS 109:13710-13715) and its draft genome is available for genome wide investigation. Identification of the sex determination genes and understanding the gender determination process will have direct application on papaya improvement. Sugarcane is the most productive first generation biofuel crop, and has the potential to dramatically increase biomass yield for biofuel production. We are testing a new paradigm to accelerate energy cane breeding programs and maximize the biomass yield. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Plant Sciences, Genetics, Molecular Biology, or related field and have prior experience in molecular genetics and genomics.  The successful candidate will carry out genome sequencing,comparative genomic analysis, cloning genes of interest, and transforming target genes into papaya and sugarcane for validation. Applicants must be highly skilled in molecular and genomic techniques. Experience in bioinformatics is highly desirable. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
