Two postdoctoral positions: Plant Immunity Studies 1732 views

The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at University of Copenhagen are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated persons to undertake studies of cellular mechanisms in plants attacked by the barley powdery mildew fungus.

About the project:

• One project involves overlapping analyses of barley and Arabidopsis that are host and non-host to the fungus, respectively.
• The selected candidate will make molecular studies of these cellular mechanisms to uncover their role in the interaction between the plant and the fungus.
• Another project has been designed for expression of fungal effectors in yeast, where effector-targeted pathways will be revealed by genetic tools.

Qualifications:

• Applicants should have a PhD degree in Molecular Biology or related area
• Practical experience in plant genetics, yeast genetics, molecular and/or cell biology
• Good interpersonal skills and excellent in English (writing and speech)
• Practical experience in molecular plant-microbe interactions; plant and yeast genetics; cell membrane biology

Duration: 3 years

Starting date: February 1, 2020, or as soon as possible thereafter

Applications:

Apply online and include the following:

• CV
• Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)
• Research plan (description of current and future research plans)
• Complete publication list
• Separate reprints of up to three particularly relevant papers
