Cornell Institute of Biotechnology

Cornell Research and Innovation


The at Cornell University is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to advance research on maize and grass molecular diversity using genomic large language models (AI). The goal is to design nitrogen-efficient maize varieties.


The Buckler/Romay Lab, in partnership with Cornell’s Institute for Genomic Diversity, employs functional genomics to dissect complex traits in grasses, cassava, and diverse crops. We leverage natural genomic diversity to pinpoint DNA and protein variants underlying quantitative traits, while integrating cutting-edge technologies to measure and interpret this diversity. Our research spans comparative genomics, chromatin architecture, gene expression, protein abundance, and metabolite profiling—...
