"Post-doctoral Research Fellow"

Description of the position:

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled post-doctoral research fellow to join our team. The successful candidate will focus on unraveling the transcriptional regulation of the candidate genes we have profiled and their associated target phenotypes in selected crops subjected to drought and salt stresses. This will be a key step in determining editing modalities. Therefore, the ideal candidate will be expected to conduct homologous overexpression, gene silencing, sequence analysis and contained phenotyping.

Education

• A PhD in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genomics, or a closely related field

Requirement

• Solid experience in nucleic acid isolation, PCR, RT-qPCR, and gel electrophoresis
• Solid experience in gene overexpression and/or silencing
• Proven knowledge in either four of these bioinformatics tools: BLAST, Ensembl, InterProScan, Primer3, MEGA, MAFFT, Phytozome, Bioconductor, Geneious, Clustal Omega
• Proficiency in R
• Knowledge of plant stress biology
• Good communication skills in English
• Ability to work as a team
• Solid publication track record in SCI-journals
