**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.

**Presentation**:
Prof. Mateusz Majda is looking for a PhD student to join his research group at the Department of Plant Molecular Biology (DBMV) at the University of Lausanne.

**Project description**:
The project aims to advance our understanding of the growth coordination within plant cells and tissues that result in diverse plant morphologies observed in various environments. You will contribute to unraveling the genetic factors governing the properties of the cell wall, particularly its ability to withstand turgor pressure and facilitate growth, leading to a range of plant shapes. You will be engaged in genetic modifications at the cellular and tissue level, altering cell shape and cell wall characteristics to further elucidate the processes underlying coordinated cellular growth across disparate tissues. The project will also involve the time-lapse confocal microscopy, image processing, and mechanical measurements.

At least half of the working time will be dedicated to the doctoral research. The rest of the time will be dedicated to various academic functions including some teaching assistance of undergraduate biology students.

**Environment**:
The Department of Plant Molecular Biology is dedicated to elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in plant development, abiotic stress response, and biotic interactions. It is home to nine internationally recognized research groups. As a part of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine, the Department has access to a range of cutting-edge technology platforms, including genomics, proteomics, imaging, and bioinformatics core facilities. Our laboratory also collaborates with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).

Contract length : 1 year, renewable 2 x 2 years, maximum 5 years
