Join Our Team to Investigate UV-B Perception and Signalling in Marchantia polymorpha
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: UV-B perception and signalling in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, focusing on early UVR8 photoreceptor-mediated events regulating UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis and acclimation.
Location: Geneva, Switzerland
Eligibility/Qualifications:
- Recently completed (<6 months) or expecting to soon receive a PhD degree in Biology, Biochemistry, or related fields
- At least one major first-author publication
- Strong interest in plant signal transduction
- Expertise in molecular biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, imaging techniques, or related
- Previous substantial experience with molecular techniques essential
- Experience with Marchantia polymorpha as a model system beneficial
- Good communication skills and fluency in spoken and written English
Job Description:
The successful candidate will build on recent unpublished Marchantia work and develop an independent research project studying UVR8-COP1-mediated signalling and responses using Marchantia polymorpha as a model system. The role involves conducting research, contributing to the development of the project, and collaborating within a creative and stimulating international scientific environment. Access to state-of-the-art technologies and the opportunity to make key discoveries in plant perception, signalling, and response to UV-B are offered.
How to Apply:
Interested applicants should submit a single .pdf file including a letter of motivation explaining interest and qualification for the position, a CV including publication record, and names of 2-3 references to Roman Ulm via email at roman.ulm@unige.ch.
