Lab name Ming-Hsiun Hsieh Lab
Job Position Research Assistant (Master’s or Bachelor’s Level)
Responsibilities

Research Topic: How glutamate and glutamine regulate plant growth and defense
Research Description:
Our laboratory uses molecular genetics approaches to study how plants sense and
respond to amino acids (glutamate and glutamine). We have found that, in addition to
being essential nutrients for plant growth, glutamate and glutamine can also enhance
plant defense responses. We welcome individuals who are interested in plant biology
and plan to pursue advanced degrees to join our team in exploring the novel functions
of amino acids in plants.

Requirements

1. Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in a life science-related field
2. Experience in molecular biology techniques and molecular genetics research is
a plus
