Postdoctoral researcher
Ghent University
Description
100% of your assignment will be spent on academic research.
The aim of your research is to deepen our understanding of the intricate gene regulatory network controlling the final stages of programmed cell death (PCD) in the root cap of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
Focusing on transcription factors, you will identify novel key regulators of root cap PCD, and functionally analyze them in detail. You will achieve this by combining single-cell transcriptome profiling with forward and reverse genetics. Advanced cell biology and live cell imaging will be a central part of this project to characterize the functions of the identified transcription factors in root cap PCD.

You hold a thesis-based doctorate (obtained max. 6 years ago. This term of 6 years is determined by the date written on the above-mentioned required diploma), in the field of biochemistry and biotechnology, biology, or bioscience engineering
You have experience with molecular plant biology and genetics. You have experience with CRISPR/Cas9.
You have experience with the design of T-DNA vectors and with DNA sequencing methods.
You have a good understanding of molecular-biology methods.
You have outstanding skills in plant cell biology and microscopic imaging of plant cells.
You have excellent communication and writing skills and are a good team player.
