Positions at CEITEC in Plant Functional Genomics

The director of Central European Institute of Technology CEITEC MU is announcing a selection procedure for the following positions on the topic: ROS-auxin crosstalk during plant stress adaptation and development.

PhD. position

We are looking for a highly motivated and team-oriented PhD student who is interested to work in a new Interdisciplinary Young Research Group.

Profile

• Master in Biotechnology, Biology, Bio-engineer, Biochemistry or Biomedical sciences or an equivalent degree B
• Background in functional genomics approaches
• Interest in stress plant physiology and molecular biology
• Scientific English speaking and good communication skills

What we offer

• Contract type: part time contract for 36 months
• High-quality background of a prospective and dynamically developing research organisation CEITEC
• Faculty: Central European Institute of Technology, Masaryk University

Starting date is October 2012. Please send your letter of motivation and CV by e-mail to Dr. Vanesa Tognetti to vanesa.tognetti(at)ceitec.muni.cz. Electronic applications are expected by 31/08/2012.

Post-doc position

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.

What 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 is October 2012. Please send a letter of motivation and your CV including the list of publications and recommendations of two research scientists by e-mail to Dr. Vanesa Tognetti to vanesa.tognetti(at)ceitec.muni.cz. Electronic applications are expected by 31/08/2012.

We are looking forward to hear from you!
