What is the difference between Trainee Plant Biochemistry vs Trainee Plant Physiology?

AspectTrainee Plant BiochemistryTrainee Plant Physiology
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Biochemistry, Plant Science, or related fieldsBachelor's or Master's in Plant Biology, Botany, or related fields
Work EnvironmentLaboratories, research facilities, field sitesLaboratories, research facilities, field sites
Industry UsageResearch institutions, biotech companies, agricultural researchResearch institutions, agricultural agencies, universities
Common Search IntentUnderstanding biochemistry roles in plants, research opportunitiesUnderstanding plant functions, physiological studies

Both Trainee Plant Biochemistry and Trainee Plant Physiology roles involve research in plant sciences within similar environments. The main difference lies in their focus: biochemistry emphasizes chemical processes within plants, while physiology concentrates on overall plant functions and systems. Candidates should choose based on their specific interests in chemical mechanisms or plant functions.

Job description

Position
Details
Title
Postdoctoral Fellow Nett Lab
School
Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area
Molecular and Cellular Biology
Position Description
The Nett lab seeks to understand how plants synthesize complex, bioactive small molecules, as well as how these molecules function in nature and in the context of human health. We are looking to hire postdoctoral fellows that share this interest in understanding the intricacies of plant chemistry and biology. Research in the Nett lab spans multiple, distinct projects that are all unified by the chemistry of plants, including: 1) evolutionary and biochemical characterization of neofunctionalized enzymes in plant metabolism, 2) elucidation and engineering of biosynthetic pathways for high-value molecules from plants, and 3) identifying the native targets of bioactive plant small molecules. Opportunities to contribute to each of these projects are available. Start dates are flexible to the timeline of the successful candidate.
The projects in the Nett lab will provide the opportunity to gain experience with multiple, interdisciplinary techniques, including metabolic engineering of high-value plant molecules, plant synthetic biology, enzymology, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. As this work exists at the interface of biology, chemistry, and engineering, applicants with training and education in any of these areas, or related fields, will be considered. Postdocs in the lab will also have the chance to mentor graduate students, undergrads, and other trainees, and will be given opportunities to participate in grant writing, peer review, and other career-building activities.
Basic Qualifications
A Ph.D. is required. Previous research experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, chemical biology, transcriptomics, proteomics, and/or metabolomics is recommended.
Additional Qualifications
Demonstrated record of research achievement
Strong written and oral communication skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Special Instructions
Letters of recommendation are not required at the time of application; however, letters will be collected for finalists. Candidates should submit with their application contact information for two to three references from experts at the ladder faculty ranks or highly accomplished senior researchers from corporations or research institutes.
Please include the following items as part of your application:
  • Cover Letter, including a brief explanation of your research interests, research accomplishments, and reasons for pursuing a research position in the Nett lab.
  • CV
  • Name and contact information for 2-3 references.
