The Postdoctoral Research Associate will support research in the Vegetable Breeding Program at Uvalde, which is focused on studying genomics, tissue culture, integrated pest management, agronomy and breeding of cultivars for vegetable crops and will assist Dr. Subas Malla in managing the logistics, reporting, communication, outreach, organization, and budget oversight for the 4-year USDA NIFA SCRI onion project and the TDA-SCBG onion and watermelon projects. The Center has about 150 acres of land for crop research/production and houses a staff of more than 50 people with active research programs in agronomy, horticulture, breeding and genetics, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, plant pathology and wildlife disease ecology.
