Professor in Plant Science

We invite applications for a Professor position in Plant Science. Plants have evolved diverse mechanisms to perceive changes in both internal and external environments and to regulate their growth and development accordingly. Elucidating these mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels provides fundamental knowledge essential for a comprehensive understanding of plant physiology and for improving plant productivity. We therefore seek an outstanding scientist with a strong record of achievement in this field who can lead innovative research based on these foundations and contribute to the advancement of research and education within the Department. In addition to teaching general education courses in related fields, undergraduate and graduate specialized courses, and supervising student research, the successful candidate will be expected to actively contribute to departmental and university administration with enthusiasm and a strong sense of responsibility.
