Summary: The Casteel Lab at Cornell University is seeking a highly self-motivated and driven postdoctoral fellow to unravel the genes, proteins, and metabolites that underpin virus-insect-plant interactions in complex communities using both model and non-model plants. The initial focus will be on characterizing the underlying mechanisms of virus-induced susceptibility to insects or in virus-induced stress resilience. The fellow will be able to drive innovation within the project's framework and propose experimental approaches that align with their specific research interests and long-term goals. This position offers an exciting opportunity for individuals with a background in plant biology, molecular biology, entomology, virology, molecular ecology, genetics, and/or mic
