Congratulations! Hope the good news continues for you.

Congratulations Charlotte! This is wonderful news.

Postdoctoral Scholar position in the Coaker group University of California, Davis We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to join our research program focused on immune receptor engineering and spatial analyses of plant pathogens interactions using computational and imaging approaches. The position will involve integration of molecular, imaging, and computational approaches. Relevant publications from the laboratory include Nature Plants (2025, PMID: 40721669), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2024, PMID: 38814867), and Cell Reports (2023, PMID: 37342910). https://www.coakerlab.org/ Qualifications: • Ph.D. in plant biology, molecular biology, genetics, computational biology, or a related field • Strong background in genomics and/or computational biology • First author publications in peer-reviewed journals • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment • Experience in plant innate immunity is preferred Application Instructions: The position is initially available for two years, with the possibility of extension based on performance and funding. Salary is based on the University of California postdoctoral salary scale (https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/2025-26/represented-oct-2025-scales/t23.pdf). The salary range for this position is $69,073-$82,836 US Dollars/year. Review of applications will begin June 1, 2026 and will continue until the position is filled. Please submit a CV, a brief statement of research interests (~1 page), and contact information for three references to glcoaker@ucdavis.edu. The research statement should describe your previous work, how your expertise aligns with ongoing research in the lab, and potential future research directions.

We are hiring! We’re excited to recruit a postdoc to our lab at UC Davis to work on plant immune engineering and single-cell analyses of plant pathogen interactions. Apply by June 1. Please repost. www.coakerlab.org/postdoctoral...

Oh no! Thanks for sharing the news.

Ready for the high school science bowl.

Fun fact: My dog Texas is in the photo with me. I love taking him on trips and exploring new places together.

New lab member: Ananya Pandravada.
I am an undergraduate biology student at Iowa State University interested in plant genomics, plant stress biology, and crop improvement.

Crosswind landing practice.

UPS pilots are the best.

By bridging our fundamental research in Arabidopsis with crop physiology in maize, I’m uncovering how the mother plant’s internal recycling system, maternal autophagy, is the primary driver of grain yield and seed quality.

New lab member profile: Xia Wan, postdoctoral fellow.
As a Postdoc in the Bassham Lab, I study how autophagy (cellular recycling) powers plant growth and reproduction.

Ha! Snowmageddon did not stop me!

One of my favorites.

Wouldn’t be the first time I slept in the airport 😆

Awesome! On my way east right now!
