We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to join our research on ionomics of mycorrhizal plants. Ionomics requires the application of high-throughput elemental analysis technologies (e.g. ICP-MS) and their integration with both bioinformatic and genetic tools.
The ideal candidate is interested to work in an international research team on fundamental biological processes in membrane transport – symbiosis – signaling, and has experience in plant genetics, molecular physiology, and ICP-mass spectrometry. The position (3 years, salary basis TV-L E13) is located within the Program “BioEnergy2021” of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Starting date is 1st February 2009 or later. The project is part of a larger collaborative effort focusing on systems biology research in biomass production in maize and offers an excellent scientific environment for successful research, networking and career development. The laboratory will be in the BioCentre, a newly established integrative research and teaching facility for biological sciences at the University of Cologne.
