Ph.D. student or PostDoc (f/m/d) to study evolutionary aspects of plant cell biology

05.02.2024, Wissenschaftliches Personal

A fully funded Ph.D. student or PostDoc position is available in the group of Dr. Philipp Denninger at the Chair of Plant Systems Biology of the School of Life Sciences of the Technische Universität München in Freising-Weihenstephan. With a focus on cell biology, we study cell polarity and signalling pathways regulated by RhoGTPase signalling in multiple plant species, within the “MAdLand” DFG Priority Programme.

Research and Tasks
The Denninger Lab seeks a highly motivated Ph.D. student or PostDoc to study the evolution of RhoGTPase signalling in Streptophyte algae, Liverworts and Mosses. We investigate how plant RhoGTPase activators evolved during the conquest of land and how their properties adapted during the evolution of the green lineage.
To address these questions, you will use bioinformatical, biochemical and cell-biological approaches, with an emphasis on live cell imaging.

Your Profil
- Curiosity and motivation to study plant evolution and plant cell biology
- Experienced in bioinformatics, biochemistry, or confocal microscopy
- M.Sc. (or equivalent) for a Ph.D position, Ph.D. for a PostDoc position in the field of biology is required
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills

We offer
- A great work environment
- Integration in the “MAdLand” DFG Priority Programme (SPP 2237)
- Excellent research opportunities and technical equipment
- Funded Ph.D. student position (3 Years, TV-L E13, 65%), or PostDoc position (21 Months, TV-L E13, 100%)

Application
