Assets

  • Qualifications préférées en génomique et diagnostics

    “Experience in one or more of the following areas is preferred: Biology, taxonomy, phylogenetics, or population genomics of Fusarium or related fungal pathogens; Whole-genome sequencing, genome assembly and annotation, pangenome analysis, comparative genomics, or genome-wide association studies; Bioinformatics workflows using Linux, high-performance computing systems, Python, R, or related tools; Plant disease diagnostics, HRM analysis, or molecular assay development; Disease research involving grapes, cereal crops, or other specialty crops.”

Watch points

  • Dépendance du financement externe

    “Please be advised that this position is supported by external sponsor funding. As such, continued employment in this role is contingent upon the availability of those external funds.”

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is "U.S. citizens only": this is not a preference, it is the filter that opens or closes the application. The real screening then comes down to proving useful experience in fungal genomics, molecular diagnostics, plant-microbe interactions, or comparative genomics, not just a general interest in fungi. The cover letter and research statement should therefore show concrete results, tools you can use independently, and real lab and bioinformatics autonomy. Submit an application that clearly links your experience to the work required, then file it through the official portal without waiting.
