Job Description:

Ph.D. student or PostDoc to study evolutionary aspects of plant cell biology

We offer a fully funded position in the group of Dr. Philipp Denninger at the Chair of Plant Systems Biology, School of Life Sciences, Technische Universität München, Freising-Weihenstephan. The research focuses on cell polarity and signalling pathways regulated by RhoGTPase in various plant species, within the “MAdLand” DFG Priority Programme.

Research and Tasks

The successful candidate will investigate the evolution of RhoGTPase signalling in Streptophyte algae, Liverworts, and Mosses, examining how these components evolved during land conquest and adaptation of the green lineage. Approaches include bioinformatics, biochemistry, and live cell imaging.

Your Profile

• Curiosity and motivation to study plant evolution and cell biology
• Experience in bioinformatics, biochemistry, or confocal microscopy
• M.Sc. (or equivalent) for Ph.D., Ph.D. for PostDoc position in biology
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

We offer

• A stimulating work environment
• Integration into the “MAdLand” DFG Priority Programme
• Excellent research facilities
• Funding: Ph.D. (3 years, TV-L E13, 65%), PostDoc (21 months, TV-L E13)

Application

Please submit your application, including a motivation letter, CV, and contact details for two references, in a single PDF to [email address]. The start date is flexible from 01.04.2025 or later.
