Of course. If you want to pursue a PhD in Plant Biology, application details are here: plantbiology.ucr.edu/graduat…. Fee waivers are available. CEE PhD program application details are here: cee.ucr.edu/academics/gradua…. If you are looking for a postdoc, email Ian or me directly.
Sean Cutler, @cutlersr, and I are looking for post docs and students to join us on a collaborative project. Email us if you have interests in plant synbio and turning plants into sensors. wheeldon@ucr.edu, cutler@ucr.edu

We developed a new CID module that can be reprogrammed to bind diverse ligands. It works very well in plants, and we used it to make plant-based biosensors. W/ @LabWheeldon, T. Whitehead, @NusinowLab, @bvolkie, @BeltranJBio, nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
