A postdoc in biomechanics and plant microtubules
4 weeks ago
Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Section of Plant Glycobiology Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a Postdoc position. The postdoc position will be associated with the Plant Cellulose/Cell Biology research group (Prof. Staffan Persson) at the Glycobiology Section. The work aims to understand how certain proteins impact cellulose synthase and microtubule interactions. The research will range from understanding protein regulation visavi function, visualization of protein activities in vivo and in vitro, analysing cell wall characteristcs, and elucidate how cell wall synthesis is coordinated with cytoskeletal activities.
You will work in a highly cross-disciplinary team that includes the full range of computational biology, microscopy, molecular biology and biochemistry (approx 20 people). For the position, it is expected that you have a strong background in cell & molecular biology of plants with a strong publication record and some experience sin the area of biomechanics. The successful candidates will be part of an exciting team to understand mechanisms that underpin how proteins partake in the formation of certain cell wall polymers and in cytoskeletal arrangements and functions. You will also be expected to engage in teaching, supervision of students and lab technicians, as well as actively apply for funding.
Required Qualifications
A PhD degree in Plant cell biology. Practical experience in, Molecular & Cell Biology and/or Biomechanics & Advanced microscopy. Excellent English communication skills. Good interpersonal skills.Key Selection Criteria
