Plant Development Biologist – Exploring Stomatal Anatomy and Climate Change Resilience

vor 4 Wochen


Bern, Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Vollzeit

Universität Bern is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the Stomatal Biology research group. Our team investigates how grasses and succulents form stomata on leaves and how different stomatal forms contribute to gas exchange physiology.

About the Research Group

We are a vibrant and inclusive research environment that strives to answer fundamental questions in plant development and physiology of grasses and succulents. Our research infrastructure at the Institute of Plant Sciences in Bern, Switzerland, provides state-of-the-art facilities for our projects.

About the Job

We offer a 2+1 year postdoctoral position with a flexible start date. The successful candidate will be responsible for phenotyping a natural diversity panel of the wild grass Brachypodium distachyon for differences in stomatal anatomy and function. Experience in quantitative (plant) phenotyping, (plant) genetics, light microscopy, and computational image analysis is required.

Required Skills and Qualifications:
  • Completed PhD in biology or equivalent
  • Experience in genome-wide association studies, plant physiology, plant development, and modelling
About the Project

The project explores the phenotypic space of stomatal anatomy and function in 330 fully sequenced accessions of the wild model grass Brachypodium distachyon in different temperatures. This dataset will be used to identify genetic players regulating stomatal anatomy and function using GWA studies and determine accession-specific phenotypic plasticity. We will also model photosynthesis and water use based on these anatomical parameters to predict water-stress-resilience.

Benefits
  • A competitive salary range of CHF 60'000 - 80'000 per annum
  • A dynamic and supportive work environment
  • The opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in the field
How to Apply

Please send a single PDF including a motivation letter, a CV, and the names of at least two referees to [insert contact email].
