EU-funded PhD position on auxin transport and metabolism in plant roots

Mapping auxin transport and metabolism in roots of monocot plants

Laboratory:
The auxin group of Jan Petrášek within the Laboratory of Hormonal Regulations in Plants (http://lhr.ueb.cas.cz) focuses on the regulatory mechanisms defining the levels of auxin within plant cells. We use a spectrum of advanced microscopy approaches, hormonal analytics, molecular cloning, high-throughput transcriptomics and proteomics, and auxin transport assays.

Requirements:

• Master's degree in molecular biology, genetics or bioinformatics,
• the candidate must be enrolled in a full-time PhD study programme, where the supervisor must be a team member of the OP JAK project TowArds Next GENeration Crops (TANGENC),
• practical experience in experimental work in a biological laboratory and basic bioinformatics skills are an advantage,
• experience in presenting scientific results,
• good communication skills,
• independence at work.

Requirements:
-               Ph.D. in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Plant Sciences, Bioinformatics or related field of study
-               strong theoretical background in plant molecular biology, genomics, genetics, bioinformatics
-               advanced knowledge of genomic and molecular biology methods used for genome and transcriptome analysis
