Postdoctoral scientists (Postdoktoranden)

11.04.2024

Postdoc position (m/f/d, E 13 TV-L, 100%)
in the Timing of Fate Transitions Lab

A Postdoc position (initially 2 years) is available in our laboratory in the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), at the University of Tübingen (Germany). The position is available with an intended start date starting February 2025.

Research
Our newly established research group studies mechanisms plants use to control the timing of cell fate transitions. During plant development complex organs are formed with meticulously patterned cell identities. However, none of the embryonically specified cells differentiate before germination and their ‘master regulators’ are unable to induce differentiation (for more background see Smit et al. 2023 Dev Cell). In general, we are interested in plant development, cell identity, and pattern formation. In this project you will use single cell approaches to identify which factors in the cell allow for the switch to fate progression.

Your profile
We are looking for a curiosity-driven, highly motivated candidate with good communication and teamwork skills who can work independently in a goal-oriented manner. The candidate should have a PhD in Plant Biology, preferentially with a focus on Developmental Biology or Bioinformatics. Excellent English written and oral skills are required, previous experience with Arabidopsis thaliana, confocal imaging, and single cell approaches are a plus.

Environment
The ZMBP is a world-class institution in molecular plant biology, benefiting from brand-new infrastructures within the University of Tübingen science campus, and recognized for many conceptual and technological breakthroughs in the fields of plant development, cell biology, and plant-microbe interactions. Tübingen is an international, dynamic, and lively university town.

How to apply
Interested applicants should submit a single PDF comprising a motivation letter describing your research interests, an up-to-date CV, and the names and contact information for 2 references to timing.lab@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de. The preferred starting date for this position is from the 1^st of February 2025 onwards, but an alternative starting date could be arranged. Screening of applications will begin August 2024 and will continue until a suitable candidate is found. For more information, please contact Margot Smit via email (timing.lab@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de) or Twitter (@likeyoda1).

The University of Tübingen is committed to equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion and wishes to enhance the share of women employed in research. Applications from equally qualified candidates with disabilities will be given preference. The employment will be handled by the central administration of the University of Tübingen.

Master and or Bachelor Thesis in Plant Pathogen Interactions (RG El Kasmi)

Our research group in the Department for Plant Physiology at the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), University of Tübingen, is offering the possibility for a highly motivated Master and or Bachelor (of Biology, Biochemistry or Cellular Nanoscience) student to do her/his thesis project in our lab.
We are currently working on the characterization of interactors of a plant immune receptor of the NLR family. We would like to validate the preliminary results (interactions observed in yeast-2-hybrid screen) and to further cell biologically, genetically and biochemically characterize the function of the identified proteins during (NLR-mediated) immunity.
The project will include the following methods:
•    Molecular analysis (cloning, bacterial transformation, etc.)
•    In planta Protein-protein interaction studies (co-immunoprecipitation, BiFC and FRET interaction assays)
•    Genetic studies (crosses, genotyping, etc.)
•    Plant infection assays
We offer an innovative and scientifically stimulating environment, a well-equipped lab as well as an international and cooperative research team.
For applying, please send an email with a short motivation statement to Dr. Farid El Kasmi at farid.el-kasmispam prevention@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de

Master and/or Bachelor Thesis in Plant Biochemistry

Our research group in the Department for Plant Biochemistry at the Center for Plant Molecular Biology (ZMBP), University of Tübingen, is seeking highly motivated Master and Bachelor students.
Our department is working on the characterization of plant immunity receptors and their regulators, as well as downstream signaling pathways.
Projects generally include the following methods:

• Generation of plant mutants and their characterization
• Recombinant protein expression and purification
• In vitro and in vivo phosphorylation experiments
• Protein-protein interaction studies (co-immunoprecipitation, yeast two-hybrid and FRET-FLIM interaction assays)
• Molecular and physiological studies (cloning, real time-PCR, etc.)
• Plant infection assays

We offer an innovative and scientifically stimulating environment, a well-equipped lab as well as an international and cooperative research team. You should apply if you are a biology or biochemistry student who is enthusiastic about science and keen on learning new techniques.
For applying, please send an email with a short motivation statement (attachments as pdf-files only) to andrea.gustspam prevention@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de
