1 PhD student in the research education subject: Developmental biology
Molecular analysis of transcriptional networks regulating cell division and dormancy in perennials plants
A Ph. D position is open in the group of Rishi Bhalerao at Umeå Plant Science Center in Umeå, Sweden. This project follows up on previous work (Nilsson et al., Plant Cell (2008), Nieminen et al., PNAS (2008), Rohde and Bhalerao (2007) Trends in Plant Sciences) and is focused on elucidating transcriptional networks that regulate cell division in response to environmental and hormonal signals in plants. The project aims to identify key transcriptional regulators that control cell division in response to environmental and hormonal signals using functional genomics approaches. The role of the identified transcriptional regulators will then be analysed by modulating their expression by inducible over-expression and targeted down-regulation in transgenic plants.
Qualifications
The applicant should have a Masters degree with demonstrated experience in molecular biology and biochemistry. The applicant should have good communication skills and should be highly motivated and capable of working independently.
