Postdoctoral position: Histo-immunologic and chemical characterization of secondary cell walls in Arabidopsis and Populus
SLU is an international university, world class in life and environmental sciences. We are ranked among the Top 100 of ca 5,000 European universities. We have a strong research focus, but we also offer some of Sweden's most in-demand educations; veterinarian, forester, and landscape architect.
www.slu.seThe Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) is an internationally renowned center in experimental plant biology and forest biotechnology. UPSC hosts four national centers of excellence and is leading the Swedish conifer genome sequencing project. More than 180 scientists from 35 countries organized in 30 groups are working at the UPSC.
The postdoctoral position is within the strategic research effort Bio4Energy,
www.bio4energy.se, which is devoted to bioenergy and biorefinery of lignocellulosic biomass. The work will be carried out at UPSC, where research on cell walls and wood biology is a particularly active area covering aspects of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and wood chemistry. This offers the successful applicant a unique opportunity to collaborate with others and to learn and be exposed to a large battery of methods and approaches. UPSC provides state-of-the-art platforms, including proteomics, metabolomics, cell wall and wood analysis, spectroscopy, microscopy and a poplar transformation service, which will ensure success in the outlined project.
Research: Approximately 50 research projects are carried out in the following areas: Metabolism and physiological function of plant hormones in transgenic plants, The physiology of wood formation and the possibilities to manipulate wood production and wood fiber properties in transgenic trees, Effects of nitrogen deposition on the nitrogen cycling in trees and the possibilities for early detection of excess nitrogen load, Protection systems (antioxidants) in conifers against air pollution, Effects of temperature on carbon balance, in particular photosynthesis and respiration, Possibilities to induce production of natural impregnation in living trees, Genetic influences on heartwood formation and heartwood properties, Changes in genetic diversity in the small populations that forest tree breeding deals with, studied in theoretical models, Evolution, population dynamics and biodiversity in forest species (DNA-analysis), Genetic variation in climatic adaptation of forest trees, studied in field trials and climate chamber experiments, studies of the genetics of lodgepole pine, estimating its possible adaptation to Swedish conditions.
Teaching: The department offers courses at the undergraduate level in plant physiology and genetics, and takes part in teaching at other departments, both within and outside of SLU. Postgraduate training is offered in forest plant physiology, forest genetics, and forest cell- and molecular biology.
SLU is an equal opportunity employer.
