Postdoc Position in Redox Biology: A postdoc position in Receptor Redox Biology is available in the laboratory of Dr. Elwira Smakowska-Luzan at the Laboratory of Biochemistry, Wageningen University & Research.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area:
In the research group, we focus on understanding the largely unexplored mechanisms of signal perception in plants. Plants, as sessile organisms, must precisely respond to changes in their environment. Many of these responses, as well as processes related to growth and development, involve the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). We investigate how ROS, through oxidative modifications, control the stability, activity, and protein interactions of Cysteine-Rich Receptor Like-Kinases (CRKs). Join our group in exploring this and other intriguing research questions.
Location: Laboratory of Biochemistry, Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands
Eligibility/Qualification:
We are seeking a postdoc candidate who:
- Holds a Ph.D. degree in molecular and/or cellular biochemistry, plant biology, or an equivalent field.
- Has a strong background and experience in protein biochemistry and plant biology.
- Is a highly motivated team player with a positive and enthusiastic personality.
- Possesses excellent English oral and written skills.
Job Description:
The postdoc position offers:
- A 2-year, full-time position funded by an NWO VIDI grant.
- Support for applying for personal research fellowships such as NWO-VENI, EMBO, Marie Curie, HFSP.
- Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure.
- Collaboration within a highly interdisciplinary and scientifically stimulating research environment.
