Our mission is to perform excellent and innovative basic research and generate knowledge that benefits forestry, agriculture, environment and society. We work across a wide range of disciplines in plant science reaching from cell biology to ecophysiology and from basic research to industrial applications. Our common goal is to understand the plants' ability to grow, adapt and acclimate to a changing world and how we can breed better plants.\nAbout the position\nThe long-term goal of our research is to understand the signaling mechanisms regulating plant growth and development (https:\/\/www.upsc.se\/researchers\/6171-robert-stephanie-regulation-of-plant-cell-shape-acquisition.html). You will be part of a team that works at building a better understanding of the signaling controlling cell fate acquisition in Arabidopsis root. The candidate will aim at dissecting the role of the cuticle layer in this process. The project is based on cell biology including live confocal microscopy, molecular biology and transcriptomics.\nYour profile\nApplicants require a doctoral degree in molecular, cell or developmental biology, or related disciplines. Furthermore, applicants should be proficient in English and should have the ability to work independently as well as in collaboration with others. Experience in confocal microscopy, Arabidopsis, and transcriptomics is of merit.\nAbout us\nUPSC belongs to two universities, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Ume\u00e5 University.
