瑞士日内瓦大学招聘博士后

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study mechanisms of UV-B perception and signalling in the laboratory of Roman Ulm at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Our group has a strong interest in early UV-B photoreceptor-mediated events regulating UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis and acclimation in plants (for more information on our group please see www.unige.ch/sciences/biologie/bioveg/ulm/ and three selected publications listed below). We explore state-of-the-art methods in molecular biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry and cell biology to identify the molecular identities and functions of key factors involved in this process. This project will focus on biochemical analysis of the UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 and its early signalling mechanism.

We are looking for talented new team members. The successful candidate is highly motivated, has a strong interest in plant biology and photobiology, and demonstrated expertise in biochemistry (publication record).

Please send a motivation letter, your CV, and contact details of 2-3 references by e-mail to Roman Ulm ( roman.ulm@unige.ch )

Review of applications will begin immediately and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
