At the Julius-von-Sachs Institute for Biociences at the University of Würzburg, a

PhD position in Pharmaceutical Biology

funded by the DFG, is available at the earliest possible date.

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate interested in studying plant stress responses. The salary is in accordance with the TV-L. The position will be part time (65%) and fixed for three years.

PhD position in Pharmaceutical Biology (m/f/d)

Activities and responsibilities

Based on our previous work (Reichelt et al., 2023; Plant, Cell & Environment) the project aims at investigating the relationship between trehalose 6-phosphate, starch and energy metabolism, and heat resistance in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. You will have access to a broad spectrum of methods, including analytical (LC-MS), molecular biological (qRT-PCR, RNA-Seq, CRISPR/Cas9), and plant physiological techniques. Furthermore, the successful candidate may benefit from the course offerings and networking opportunities of the Graduate School of Life Sciences at the University of Würzburg.

Qualification profile

A very good master’s degree in biology or a related subject, as well as very good English skills (spoken and written), are required. Prior experience working with Arabidopsis thaliana, with molecular biological methods, or the analysis of large datasets using statistical methods is desirable but not mandatory.

Please submit your electronic application (compiled into a single PDF file) including a motivation letter, CV, certificates, the name of two suitable referees and, if applicable, a list of publications to email. The closing date for application is 14.02.2025.
