Job Description:
Two Postdoctoral Positions on Golgi Phosphate Transport & Homeostasis
Postdoctoral Researcher (Position 1):
- Develop and use genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors.
- Investigate the contribution of key genes to phosphate homeostasis in the Golgi.
- Utilize Arabidopsis and yeast for experimental work.
- Strong expertise in confocal microscopy, including FRET, is required.
Postdoctoral Researcher (Position 2):
- Focus on understanding the role of novel genes in Golgi phosphate homeostasis.
- Work with genes identified through mutagenesis and gene mapping in Arabidopsis.
- Emphasis on molecular genetics and biochemistry of solute transporters.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should send the following documents to Yves.Poirier@unil.ch:
- CV
- Outline of research interest
- Names and addresses of two references
Last Date for Apply: Rolling applications until positions are filled.
Location: Lausanne, Switzerland
Starting date for both positions is ideally in the first half of 2024, and funding is available until the end of 2027. For further details about the laboratory and the department, visit www.unil.ch/dbmv/en/home.html.
Join us in advancing the understanding of phosphate transport and homeostasis in the Golgi. The University of Lausanne is committed to providing an inclusive and diverse work environment. We encourage applications from qualified candidates of all backgrounds.
