Executive Secretary II
Please find the posting here: https://careers.msu.edu/cw/en-us/job/516926/executive-secretary-ii
We are looking for an Executive Secretary II for Michigan State University's Plant Resilience Institute (PRI), who will support the PRI Director and Associate Director to manage the planning and administrative operation of the institute. The vision of PRI is to conduct cutting-edge plant resilience research in a lively, collaborative environment where impactful learning, discovery, and opportunity draw in and retain diverse talent and leadership. Our mission is to enhance plant resilience to environmental challenges including extremes in weather and to become a "Center of Excellence" for foundational and translational plant research aimed at stabilizing the productivity and quality of food and energy crops against climate fluctuations and uncertainties. The PRI includes scientists and students from diverse career stages and disciplines across several departments and colleges at MSU, with expertise in model, non-model, and crop plants, drought and heat adaptation, plant-microbe, plant-soil, and plant-insect interactions, genomics, and bioinformatics. We value professionalism, collegiality, and respect in a collaborative environment to facilitate resilience-related convergence research with rigorous and high ethical standards. We are strongly committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging, which is detailed here.
The Executive Secretary II will play a crucial role in the successful operation of the institute.

Graduate Students
If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in the Rhee Lab, you will first need to apply to MSU before their deadline (see application portal). Once admitted, you can apply to do a rotation in our lab. After completing the rotation, we will meet to determine if the Rhee Lab is the right environment for you.
There are multiple graduate training programs you may choose to apply to: Molecular Plant Science (MPS): mps.natsci.msu.edu/, Biomolecular Science (BMS): biomolecular.natsci.msu.edu/, or Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB): cmb.natsci.msu.edu/

General Summer Internships
We are not able to accommodate summer interns in 2023 due to our lab's transition to Michigan State University. We will likely accept summer interns from MSU starting 2024.
