Postdoc position available in plant microbiome and autophagy research
Our group is still searching for a postdoc to continue our ERC funded research on “how the microbiome influences plant autophagy”. In the ERC project DIVERSIPHAGY we want to obtain a holistic picture of the role of autophagy in plant-microbe interactions by utilizing bacterial, genetic, and cellular diversity. So far, we have identified that (i) root microbiota are inducing autophagy in roots and shoots, (ii) commensal bacteria can compensate impaired growth in autophagy mutants and (iii) specific bacteria are enriched/depleted using microbial profiling under autophagy modulated conditions. We would like to continue this project with a postdoc experienced in plant microbiome research who will lead this part of the ERC funded project. PhD candidates with proven expertise in plant-microbiome research are also welcome to apply. The position is for 2 years, with a possibility to prolong it for another 2 years. The position is available immediately and open until a suitable candidate is found. For more details about the position and project see the ad below or contact suayib.uestuen@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de
