Postdoc Position Available: A postdoc position is available at Roman Ulm University of Geneva, Switzerland, to conduct research on UV-B perception and signaling. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop an independent research project focusing on UVRE-mediated signaling and responses, utilizing Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system. Candidates with interests in other plant model systems, such as Marchantia or Chlamydomonas, are also welcome to apply.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: UV-B Perception and Signaling
Location: University of Geneva, Switzerland
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Recently received (<1 year) or expecting to soon receive a Ph.D. degree
