Postdoc positions in the field of mRNA modifications in plants

A 2.5‑year post‑doctoral position is available in the Brodersen laboratory to work on the interplay between N6‑methyladenosine, its cognate cytoplasmic RNA binding proteins and other RNA‑binding proteins targeting m6A‑containing mRNAs. The project uses Arabidopsis as a model for advanced genetic and molecular studies, but investigates the relevant RNA binding proteins in a variety of perennial plants in temperate climate zones with an eye towards understanding key aspects of the seasonal growth‑dormancy cycle. Many samples required for the project have been collected in field seasons preceding this job opening.

In addition to your own hands‑on research duties, undergraduate student supervision connected to your research topic may be part of the duties. The project is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration involving groups specialized in tree phenology and genetics and protein biophysics.
