Post-doctoral researcher
Function of Polycomb Group proteins in plants
www.slu.seResearch: The research of the department focusses on plants, but other organisms such as
virus, bacteria, fungi, insects, yeast cells and even human cells are also studied. Our main
areas or research are: the interation between plants and microorganisms, and other forms
of stress; biotechnology and metabolic engineering; growth and development of plants; the
regulation of gene expression; population genetics, genome analysis and the development
of breeding systems. Species in use are modellorganisms such as Arabidopsis thaliana,
Physcomitrella, tobacco and yeast, and crops such as rapeseed, basket willow (Salix),
potato, barley, rye, wheat and cassava. Education: The department is responsible for basic
courses and advanced courses in general and molecular genetics; gene technology;cell
biology; plant physiology; gene expression; plant breeding; plant biochemistry and
biotechnology; molecular interactions between plants and pathogens. Besides, the
department contributes to various other biology courses together with other departments.
The courses are part of the masters programs in biotechnology and natural resources, and
the programs for students in agriculture and landscape architecture, but most courses are
open for external students as well.
Duties: We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to investigate the
functions of Polycomb Group proteins in plants. Polycomb Group proteins are major
regulators of cell fate and differentiation and have been implicated in tumor formation in
animals. Despite their important role, the molecular mechanisms by which Polycomb Group
proteins control gene expression and establish cellular identity are poorly understood. We
seek a postdoctoral researcher to characterize the function of Polycomb Group proteins in
cell differentiation. The successful applicant will work in the research group of Lars Hennig
at the Department of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics at the SLU, Uppsala. The
department offers a creative and stimulating international environment. The research group
and the department contributes to internationally recognized basic and applied science in
plant biology; for more information visit the web page at
