Postdoctoral Research Associate
Applications for this vacancy closed on 16 August 2024 at 12:00PM
**About the role**
The Østergaard laboratory at the Department of Biology is looking for a
postdoctoral researcher in legume developmental genetics.
This post aims to understand the biosynthesis of an auxin variant during pea
pod growth. Through molecular and genetic approaches, the work will reveal how
this auxin variant is synthesized and studying its role in inducing post
fertilisation pod growth.
As we are establishing a research programme in legume developmental genetics,
the candidate is expected to contribute towards developing methods and
optimizing protocols for working in legumes.
**About you**
You will have a PhD degree (or equivalent experience) in plant
genetics/molecular biology. It is essential that you have previous experience
of working in the field of plant hormone dynamics and morphogenesis in
reproductive organ development and possess specialist knowledge in pea
genetics, pea pod development and in the biosynthesis of auxin variants
involved in pea pod development.
Where Covid-19 has resulted in substantial disruption to your work or research
outputs, please explain this by providing an additional paragraph in your
supporting statement.
**How to apply**
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 16 August 2024,
interviews are likely to be scheduled for mid-September. Applications for this
vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment system, and you will be
required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online
