PhD student and Post-Doc positions open in plant stem cell research
PhD student and post doctoral positions are available in the newly established research group lead by Ari Pekka Mähönen at Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Finland. The goal of the group is to understand the function of cambial stem cells, the founder cells for all wood. We are using molecular genetics, live-cell imaging and mathematical modelling as approaches to study the cambial stem cell dynamics in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana. The funding is secured for at least 3 years.
Applicants with strong background in developmental genetics, plant molecular biology and/or cell biology as well as interest in working in an interdisciplinary environment are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants should send
1) a cover letter describing previous achievements, future career ambitions and motivation for this position;
2) Curriculum vitae with a list of publications and contact information of two referees to email address: AriPekka.Mahonen-at-helsinki.fi
