Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is “preferred”: experience in meiotic recombination or DNA repair is not the gatekeeper, but it does matter in the screening. The real test is whether you can show a solid experimental base, especially in molecular biology and the lab techniques relevant to the rice project. Since no deadline has been published, do not wait for an external signal before preparing a clean, targeted application. Put together a CV focused on your results and techniques, a letter that clearly connects your PhD work to the topic, and email the three items to the address provided.
