PhD Position in Plant Proteostasis Research
Our group is still searching for a PhD candidate in the SFB1101 funded project “Specificity of proteasome regulation by tail-anchored transcription factors”. Within this project we have identified two transcription factors that regulate proteasome gene expression during bacterial infection and other proteotoxic stresses (Langin et al., unpublished). Interaction studies with both transcription factors revealed various proteins implicated in their degradation via the ERAD system and trafficking to the nucleus from the ER. Currently, we are looking into additional target genes of these transcription factors as they seem to mediate the trade-off between proteasome activation, growth, and defense.
The project is for three years with a possibility of a one year extension. Starting date is expected to be March or April 2023 but negotiable. Application deadline is the 9.01.2023. We are looking forward to receiving your application with the subject line “Application PhD-SFB1101 ANR: 1379” as a composite pdf-file in English. Please include a letter of motivation with your research interests, CV, name, and addresses of at least two referees via email: suayb.uestuen@rub.de
