Project Description

This position is located in the group led by Professor Zuccaro (https://ag-zuccaro.botanik.uni-koeln.de/) at the Institute for Plant Sciences. The group’s research focuses on the mechanisms which form the basis of plant-microbe interactions. Some fungi can trigger cell death in host plants. However, the molecular mechanisms triggering such responses have not yet been fully understood. Protein homeostasis (or proteostasis) is based on molecular pathways that support the correct folding and protein activity.

When proteostasis collapses, protein aggregation occurs, causing cellular dysfunction, resulting in metabolic stress, enhanced ROS production and eventually cell death. YOUR TASKS » Explore the role of proteostasis mechanisms which regulate survival or suppress host defence upon colonization » Use comparative genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics to identify proteostasis components involved in regulating cell death in plant root-fungal interactions » Characterize selected candidate genes using in vitro and in vivo biochemical assays, imaging techniques and genetic screenings using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana » Take responsibility for the project, drive the research and contribute novel ideas » Write and publish scientific articles » Actively engage in group meetings and discussions

Application Deadline

The deadline for applications is March 05, 2021

Eligibility

  • A talented, highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher with a Master degree (or equivalent) in biology, biochemistry or a related discipline
  • A genuine interest in plant-microbe interactions
  • High degree of self-initiative and individual responsibility
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills in English

WE OFFER YOU

  • A highly motivated, international and committed team embedded in a highly interdisciplinary research environment
  • A diverse and fair working environment
  • Support in reconciling work and family life
