PhD Student Position Available: A PhD student position is open to investigate UV-B perception and signaling in plants at the Roman Ulm Laboratory, University of Geneva, Switzerland. The research will focus on understanding early UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis and acclimation events using Arabidopsis thaliana and/or Marchantia polymorpha as model systems. The successful candidate will contribute to exploring UVRE-mediated signaling and responses.
