Job Description:
Poznan is one of the largest plant science centres in Poland. It is hosting universities, numerous scientific institutes and research centres with 130000 students annually. The Institute of Plant Genetics in Poznan has a strong tradition of research on applied aspects of plant biology. Our scientific activity encompasses wide array of scientific disciplines like cytogenetics, metabolomics, molecular biology and bioinformatics. We are in the process of the formation of interdisciplinary research group specialised in integrative plant biology. The main focus of the team is to exploit knowledge from fundamental research in plant biology for development of innovative tools and new strategies in sustainable crop production and protection. The newly created BIO-TALENT team will explore the applicatory value of modification of basic developmental and physiological mechanisms in order to obtain new useful agronomical traits including increased plant tolerance to stresses or suitable growth patterns and overall yield increase. The future work of the team will also include modification of plant architecture and plant and organ size and shape for increase in biomass production or improvement of agro-technical methods.
The successful candidate who will join this group will take part in interdisciplinary research program focused on the exploration of plant developmental mechanisms for the engineering of new traits increasing tolerance to environmental and biotic factors in economically important plants.
The successful candidate is expected to develop his own research as well as cooperate with other BIO-TALENT team members. The BIO-TALENT team will consist of 3 experienced researchers (including the ERA Chair holder) specialised in different areas of science:
- molecular and cellular aspects of plant development [ERA Chair holder]
- large scale transcriptomics, reverse genetics and data analysis specialist [SENIOR1]
- phenomics and plant imaging specialist [SENIOR 2]
- bioinformatics [SENIOR POST-DOC]
Selected person is expected to have a substantial experience with a large scale transcriptomics experiments based on sequencing or microarray techniques. Additionally, the knowledge on bioinformatics and reverse genetics (TILLING) will be appreciated.
Due to the international character of the team a good English language skill is required and generation of collaborative research at the Institute and international levels is expected. Organisational skills and experience in managing projects are essential.
