Postdoc Position – UV-B: The Roman Ulm Laboratory at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, invites applications for a Postdoc position to investigate UV-B perception and signalling. The laboratory is particularly interested in studying early UVR8 photoreceptor-mediated events regulating UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis and acclimation. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop an independent research project focusing on UVR8-mediated signalling and responses, utilizing Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system, while also welcoming interests in projects involving other plant model systems like Marchantia or Chlamydomonas.
Postdoc Position – UV-B Perception and Signalling
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: UV-B Perception and Signalling
Location: Roman Ulm Laboratory, University of Geneva, Switzerland
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Recently received (<1 year) or expecting to soon receive a PhD degree.
