Masashi Yamada’s lab in the Biotechnology Center in Southern Taiwan, Academia Sinica (Tainan) 

https://mylab-root.github.io/index.html

The post-doc position in the Biotechnology Center in Southern Taiwan, Academia Sinica (Tainan) is available to study the function of Root Meristem Growth Factor 1 (RGF1) peptide in root developmental zones throught ROS signal and the molecular mechanism of root developmental zones to adapt to abiotic stress. The successful candidates will actively participate in one of the following projects.

1. Investigation of the molecular mechanism of how the RGF1 peptide modulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) distributions in the specific root developmental zones.
