Researcher Position in Biology: The University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany, is seeking a passionate and skilled scientist to join a dynamic research project focused on exploring the relationships between leaf surface structures and the colonization of leaves by microorganisms. This is a one-year position with the possibility of extension, starting any time after October 1, 2024.
Designation:
Researcher
Research Area: Plant Biology/Microbiology/Computational Biology
- Plant Biology
- Microbiology
- Computational Biology
Location:
University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany
Eligibility/Qualification:
- A strong motivation to work in an international research team.
- Significant expertise in either the data interpretation of species sequencing data or wet lab experience in biochemistry and molecular biology.
- Basic skills in computational biology are advantageous.
- Proficiency in R and/or Python is preferred.
- The working language in the lab and during group seminars is English.
Job Description:
The selected candidate will participate in a cutting-edge research project aimed at understanding the interactions between leaf surface structures and microbial colonization. The project involves both bioinformatics and experimental components, including:
