Postdoc - “grass Stomatal Diversity and Climate
vor 5 Monaten
**We are looking** for a postdoc with a completed PhD in biology (or equivalent) interested in phenotyping a natural diversity panel of the wild grass Brachypodium distachyon for differences in stomatal anatomy and function (e.g. Nunes et al. (2022) _QPB_ or Nunes et al. (2023) _Curr Biol_). Experience in quantitative (plant) phenotyping, (plant) genetics, light microscopy, and computational image analysis is required. Furthermore, experience in genome-wide association studies, plant physiology, plant development and modelling is a plus.
The project is funded by the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research and is in collaboration with Prof. Beni Stocker (GIUB, UniBe), Prof. Christelle Robert (IPS, UniBe) and Dr. Anne Roulin (Agroscope). It will explore the phenotypic space of stomatal anatomy and function in 330 fully sequenced accessions of the wild model grass _Brachypodium distachyon_ (Minadakis et al. 2023) in different temperatures. This dataset will then be used to identify genetic players regulating stomatal anatomy and function using GWA studies and determine accession-specific phenotypic plasticity (with A. Roulin). Furthermore, we will model photosynthesis and water use based on these anatomical parameters to predict water-stress-resilience (with B. Stocker). In the final phase, we will test different genotypes in future climate scenarios (with C. Robert).
