Your profile: You have recently defended your PhD or will submit your thesis in the coming month. You have a strong background in plant molecular biology, reverse genetics, in plant cell biology, and ideally in nutrient physiology. You have excellent communication skills and a keen interest in dissecting plant signal transduction cascades. You would like to obtain additional training in image analysis, structural bioinformatics, structural biology and quantitative biochemistry/biophysics.
We offer: An initial contract of 1 year, renewable up to 5 years, a competitive salary plus social benefits in an international, diverse and dynamic research environment.
How to apply: Please send your motivation letter, CV, research statement, the main publication from your PhD and the contact details of two reference providers in a single pdf file to Michael Hothorn ([email protected]).
