UV-B Perception and Signalling in Plants
Applications are invited for a postdoc position to study UV-B perception and signalling in plants. We are looking for a talented and creative new member of our team. You should have very recently received (<6 months) or expect to soon receive a PhD degree, and have (or are close to have) at least one first-author publication in a major international journal. Previous substantial experience with molecular biology, biochemistry, imaging techniques, or related, is essential.
We offer a creative and stimulating international scientific environment, and access to state-of-the-art technologies. Geneva offers an outstanding setting for study and research in the Molecular Life Sciences, as well as beautiful natural surroundings for outdoor activities and a vibrant cosmopolitan cultural life.
If you are interested in joining our team to make key discoveries in how plants perceive, signal and respond to UV-B, please send your application document (incl. a letter of motivation explaining your research interests and qualifications that make you a good fit for us, your CV including publication record, and names of 2-3 references) as a single .pdf file to Roman Ulm.
Review of applications will begin immediately, and applications will be accepted until 24 February 2025. The starting date is flexible and upon agreement.
Please get in touch if you are interested in joining our team!
We are always looking for talented, motivated and creative new members for our team. Please inquire about open positions and/or the possibility to apply for postdoctoral fellowships (e.g. from EMBO, HFSP, ...).
We seek for enthusiastic candidates with strong interest in signal transduction and photobiology to understand the influence of the light environment on plant growth and development.
Postdoctoral candidates should have published (or are close to publishing) at least one first-author paper in a major international journal. Please send a letter that outlines in which type of project you are particularly interested and why your qualifications make you a good fit for our research and our team.
PhD student candidates should hold (or be in the process of getting) an M.Sc. degree in Biology, Biochemistry or related. Experience in basic molecular, cell biological and/or biochemical techniques is expected. PhD students will be embedded into the Molecular Biosciences program of the PhD School of Life Sciences.
MSc student candidates should directly contact Roman Ulm to discuss opportunities and potential research projects.
If you are interest in joining our team to make key discoveries in how plants perceive, signal and respond to UV-B, please send your application documents (incl. letter of motivation, C.V., degrees, names of 2-3 references) to roman.ulm@unige.ch.
