Job Summary

Applications are invited for tenure track faculty and non-tenure track faculty positions in Prof. Chun-Peng Song’s group inKey Laboratoryof Plant Stress Biology at Henan University. Our research focuses on understanding the underlying mechanism that leads to plant adaptation to abiotic stress using Arabidopsis thaliana model plant and cotton, maize and wheat crop. Our efforts are centered on identifying effective ways to improve crop stress tolerance and productivity. We offer world leading expertise in plant stress biology,stomatal regulation and plant water use efficiency, as well as excellent instrumentation and crop transformation platforms. We value the communication and collaboration with the scholars worldwide. Our research is supported by “World First-Class program” and “111 Program” listed in the state discipline construction.

Duties and responsibilities
