The Crop Adaptation Lab at Colorado State University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in plant genomics and bioinformatics. Primary responsibility of the postdoc will be to identify putative climate-adaptive alleles in sorghum, a key global food security crop, using whole genome resequencing and evolutionary functional genomic analyses. The postdoc will also collaborate with a team of postdocs at CSU, Penn State, and CERAAS-Senegal on field and controlled-environment experiments to test hypotheses on the adaptive value of these alleles; and contribute to development of molecular breeding technology that will allow African breeding programs to deploy these alleles in climate-resilient varieties. The postdoc will prepare p
