Join us!

Our lab has many projects involving plant laboratory work, genome sequencing, field experiments, and bioinformatic analyses at undergraduate, graduate, and postdoc levels. 

We strive to recruit the most creative and motivated individuals -- of any nationality, race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, veteran status, or disability -- and  help them when necessary to apply for individual funding. 

Informal contacts are welcome, just write an email to moi@moilab.science describing your background and interests. We deeply value diverse thinking, so international researchers of all backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply!

Nuestro grupo tiene muchos proyectos relacionados con trabajo de laboratorio con plantas, secuenciación genómica, experimentos de campo, y análisis bioinformáticos a niveles de estudiante de grado, postgrado, o potsdoc. 

Nuestra máxima es reclutar gente creativa y motivada -- de cualquier nacionalidad, raza, religión, color, sexo, orientación sexual, identidad de género, edad, estado de veterano o dishabilidad -- y cuando es necesario, ayudamos a conseguir financiación y becas individuales.

Contactos informales son bienvenidos, símplemente escríbe un email dirigido a moi@moilab.science, describiendo tus intereses y experiencia. Lo que más valoramos es gente que piensa diferente, así que aplica! Contactos buscando consejo sobre cómo elegir o tomar decisiones sobre carreras son bienvenidos.

Prospective postdocs

Although we regularly post internally-funded positions, all prospective postdocs are encouraged to apply for independent funding. Here a link to some common fellowships and their deadlines. 

Prospective postdocs are encouraged to contact Moi even if there are no advertised positions

Prospective graduate students

Prospective graduate students can apply via Berkeley's Integrative Biology PhD programs (see https://guide.berkeley.edu/graduate/degree-programs/integrative-biology/#admissionstext).  Applications are due late November each year (check deadlines here https://grad.berkeley.edu/admissions/choosing-your-program/list/). 

Applicants are advised to also apply to NSF's Graduate Research Fellowship Program (https://www.nsfgrfp.org)

Happy to be informally contacted to discuss possibilities to rotate/join the lab or just to seek advice!

If you are interested, here is a form to express interests for the fall 2023 application cycle in November: https://forms.gle/XkNkBqL1Y6mXN7U47

Prospective undergraduates

Do you want to help us grow hundreds of plant mutants with their own unique (and sometimes never seen) plant forms? Do you want to learn how to crunch genomic, biodiversity, climatic, and satellite databases to learn about biology? Write me an email to chat about potential quarter or summer projects.

In addition, every year the department has a summer internship program. Enquire via email about it.
