PhD in Plant Molecular Biology: The Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis (IBVF), part of the CSIC-University of Seville, is offering a fully-funded PhD position to study the role of stress granules (SGs) as signaling hubs in plants. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated candidate with a strong background in molecular biology, genetics, or biochemistry to join a newly created international lab.
PhD Scholarship Position in Plant Molecular Biology
Designation:
PhD Student (Predoctoral Researcher)
Research Area:
Plant Molecular Biology, Stress Granules, Cellular Biology, Bioinformatics, Proteomics
Location:
Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis (IBVF), CSIC-University of Seville, Seville, Spain
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Recent Master’s degree in Molecular Biology, Genetics, or Biochemistry.
- Strong background in (plant) molecular and cellular biology.
- Ability to work in a team and demonstrate creativity and independent thinking in research.
Job Description:
The successful candidate will focus on understanding the role of Stress Granules (SGs) as signaling hubs in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The research will involve a combination of cellular biology, bioinformatics, and proteomics approaches. The project aims to uncover how SG formation in plants helps minimize stress-related damage and promotes cell survival, offering insights into evolutionarily conserved survival mechanisms in both plants and mammals.
The candidate will work in the newly created SGs and Signalling Lab, which fosters a collaborative and dynamic research environment, with numerous international collaborations.
Duration:
4 years (predoctoral research training contract, FPI)
Starting Date:
January – February 2025
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should apply through the SGs lab website: SGs Lab. Additional application instructions can be found on the website.
Last Date to Apply:
Please apply as soon as possible, as the position will remain open until filled.
This PhD project offers a unique opportunity to work in a stimulating, international environment and contribute to cutting-edge research in plant stress biology.
