About: PhD in a relevant field obtained not earlier than in 2017 (elapsed time may be extended by time spent on parental leave or serious health reasons). The candidate should demonstrate relevant first or senior author publication history, scientific enthusiasm and deep contextual understanding of either plant cell biology (with focus on membrane trafficking, the cytoskeleton and cell polarity, especially during normal root development and in plant-microbe interactions) or in the study of genetic and physiological basis of root system topology development, including relevant signaling pathways. The candidate should show familiarity with topics studied in the prospective host lab (see below), as well as the ability to formulate a brief proposal summarizing scientific intentions. Preliminary consultation with the respective group leaders is strongly encouraged.       Sponge   NotDistinct   Permalink
