We are building an inclusive, collaborative research group focused on plant genetics, metabolomics, and plant–microbe interactions. We strive to create a lab environment where everyone feels welcome, supported, safe, and excited to ask ambitious scientific questions.
If you are interested in joining the lab, please email Flor at mariafle@ucr.edu with:
We are always excited to host undergraduate researchers in the lab. Students at any stage are encouraged to reach out.
The lab accepts graduate students through the Plant Biology Graduate Program.
We anticipate recruiting one/two graduate students for Fall 2026/7.
A Postdoctoral position will be opening soon. More information will be posted by July 2026.
Flor is happy to work closely with prospective graduate students and postdocs to develop competitive proposals for external funding.
