PhD Candidate in Plant Cell or Plant Stress Biology
3 weeks ago
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research group in the Department of Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The successful candidate will be part of an international team working on a three-year ERC SYNERGY project, HYDROSENSING, focusing on plant drought stress perception.
The PhD project will involve characterizing the molecular processes responsible for the induction of abscisic acid, a phytohormone modulating plant responses to drought. The work will involve either functional characterization of candidates derived from omics experiments or development and application of novel biosensors to characterize cellular processes.
The newly hired PhD student will join an international team with members coming from seven different countries on three continents. The Hamann research group belongs to the multiscale biology section, consisting of six research groups, performing research on different levels of biological organization.
Duties of the Position- Conduct research in plant biology leading to a PhD degree in Biology
- Complete the doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree
- Attend international conferences, workshops, and courses
- Contribute to academic publishing and popular science dissemination
- Professionally relevant background in Biology or Physics
- Strong academic background from previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale
- Very good knowledge about plant molecular, cell, and/or stress biology in model and/or crop plants
- Very good expertise in light microscopy, biophysical, molecular, or cell biological methods
- Very good written and oral English language skills
- Bioinformatics skills and training in statistical methods
- Basic knowledge in biophysics/biological modeling
- Active involvement in academic outreach activities
The application and supporting documentation to be used as the basis for the assessment must be in English. Publications and other scientific work must follow the application. Please note that your application will be considered based solely on information submitted by the application deadline.
