Post Doc/Graduate Student Positions:

Phil Simon and Irwin Goldman will be recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to work on a 2-year FFAR-funded project examining the potential of wild carrot as a source of resistance to Alternaria leaf blight in cultivated carrot. 

The project will involve utilization and both genomic and phenotypic analysis of a panel of wild carrot diversity, as well as new approaches to evaluate resistance to this fungal pathogen. We hope to fill this position by January 1, 2026. Please contact psimon@wisc.edu and ilgoldma@wisc.edu with any questions.
