Post-doc Position

Type of job: full-time

The director of Central European Institute of Technology CEITEC MU is announcing a selection procedure for the position: Post-doc Position. Research topic: ROS-auxin crosstalk during plant stress adaptation and development.

Modulation of plant development and photosynthesis in response to the environment plays a major role in adaptation of plants to stress. Basically, these two processes are strongly influenced by reciprocal interaction between ROS and auxin. Knowledge on how photosynthetic stress-related signals and plant development are integrated by ROS-auxin crosstalk is still scratching the surface. To dissect ROS-auxin crosstalk gene regulatory networks that allow plants to adapt and survive in the highly dynamic natural environments, various interdisciplinary approaches including molecular biology, plant physiology, biochemistry, bioinformatic and genetics will be used.

We are looking for a highly motivated and talented Post-Doctoral researcher who is interested to work in a challenging interdisciplinary research project in a new Young Research Group. Suitable candidates should be dedicated to experimental science; have molecular biology, stress plant physiology, functional genomics, biochemistry or related background(s), and good command of English.

We offer:

-         Contract type: fixed-term for 36 months

-         High-quality background of a prospective and dynamically developing research  organisation CEITEC

-         Interesting salary conditions 

Starting date: October 2012 

Faculty: Central European Institute of Technology, Masaryk University (http://www.ceitec.eu)
