Positions in the Molecular Analysis and Genetic Improvement Center of South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)
About US
South China Botanical Garden (SCBG), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), formerly known as Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, Sun Yat-Sen University, was founded in 1929 by Chen Huanyong.It was renamed South China Institute of Botany, CAS in 1954, and then to its present name in 2003 in compliance with a new CAS developmental plan.
The Molecular Analysis and Genetic Improvement Center (MAGIC) was formed in 2012 by merging seven molecular biology research groups (Plant Gene Engineering Center, Energy Plant Lab, Plant Nutrition Physiology Lab, Plant Pathology Lab, Phytohormone Regulation Lab, Plant Quality Improvement Lab, Cytoderm and Plant Resistance Lab).The common research goals of MAGIC center are to crop safety and quality of gene cloning, molecular mechanism research and crop genetic improvement. According to the South China Botanical Garden “13th Five Year Plan” scientific research and the need of human resource planning,we hope to enrich the research team, improve the research capability and perfect the existing research goal in the next few years. We plans to recruitment professional scientific researcher for domestic and international in 2019.
