The Cell and Developmental Biology chair group studies developmental processes at the cellular level. Central to many developmental steps in the plant life cycle are differentiation events that establish the biochemical and physical composition of the cell to regulate growth and division. The current focus of the group is on the identity of intrinsic regulatory cues, their distribution routes and how they exert their control at the molecular and cellular level. The group aims to elucidate how cellular phenomena, such as trafficking, polarization and control of gene expression, drive the key processes that determine cell identity and morphogenesis. We are excited to recruit a new Assistant or Associate professor who offers complimentary and/or novel research approaches in this research field. In a tenure track position, you will have the opportunity to establish your own research line in plant cell and developmental biology, preferably complementary to the existing research lines. An essential aspect of the position is the acquisition of research projects, both at national and international levels. Teaching at BSc and MSc level will be an important part of your responsibilities.
We will recruit for the vacancy ourselves, so no employment agencies please. However, sharing in your network is appreciated.
