Faculty of Natural Resources
and Argicultural Sciences is
the largest of the four
faculties of SLU. Our area of
acitivity covers a wide range
of disciplines, spanning over
agriculture, food and
biotechnology to natural
resources, environment of
landscape planning. Most of
our departments are located
in Uppsala, 65 km north of
Stockholm.
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher to take an active role in a
research program related to mechanisms of plant virus pathogenesis and virulence. The
project involves understanding the mechanisms of RNA virus movement and transcriptional
reprograming induced the viruses.
Research: 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: You will employ cell biology, biochemistry, and comparative molecular genetics
approaches to investigate how plant viruses move within the plant and supress host defence.
This knowledge will be used to develop strategies to control plant viruses. You will work in a
multidisciplinary team of scientists from the Department of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics,
Uppsala BioCenter, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Uppsala. We have a
stimulating international environment and the departments contribute internationally to basic
and applied research on agricultural crops, forest trees, and model organisms. Further
information about the department and ongoing research can be found at www.vbsg.slu.se.
SLU is an equal opportunity employer.
