Postdoc Positions in General Plant Molecular and Cell BiologyThe Department of Plant Environmental Sciences (PLEN), Section of Plant Glyco Biology, Faculty of Science, at University of Copenhagen offers 3 two-year Postdoc positions in general molecular and cell biology. The work aims to deduce various aspects of cell wall synthesis and development in plants. The research will largely revolve around all types of molecular and cell biology, including a wide range of bioimaging. It is therefore expected that the successful candidates have a strong background in either different aspects of plant growth and development or in cell biology and microscopy.The successful candidates will work in a highly cross-disciplinary research group led by Prof. Staffan Persson that routinely uses the full range of computational biology, microscopy, molecular evolutionary biology, and biochemistry. It is expected that the candidates actively apply for funding associated with the research outlined above and that the candidates have documented experience in leading students in research projects. The successful candidates will be part of an exciting team to understand mechanisms that underpin cell wall biology, plant growth, and evolution. The candidates are also expected to engage in teaching, supervision of students, and lab technicians.The Postdocs’ responsibilities will primarily consist of:Research, including publication/academic disseminationResearch-based teachingResearch leadership, including guidance and supervision of studentsObligation to share knowledge with the rest of society, including participation in outreach activitiesOther tasks requested by the DepartmentQualifications/Profile:Applicants should have a scientific background within advanced molecular biology, including a range of cloning and transformation protocols. Applicants are expected to have substantial knowledge of microscopy. A broad understanding of proteomics and computational biology will be an added plus.Furthermore, the candidate must be able to document:A successful publication record in international, peer-reviewed ISI journalsExperience in applying for external fundingPlace of Employment:The place of employment will be at the Section for Plant Glyco Biology, PLEN, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.Terms of Employment:Further information on the Section and Department can be found at: https://plen.ku.dk/english/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof. Staffan Persson (staffan.persson@plen.ku.dk).The positions will commence between 1 June and 31 December 2025 and run for two years each.The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.The application, including all attachments, must be in English and submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.Please include:Curriculum vitae including information about any external fundingDiplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)Research plan – description of current and future research plans (approx. page and a half is expected on current research and a creative research plan for a future project in any areas of plant science).Description and documentation of any teaching experience.The deadline for applications is 1 February 2025, 23:59 GMT +1.After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager will select applicants for assessment on the advice of the Interview Committee.You can read about the recruitment process at https://employment.ku.dk/faculty/recruitment-process/.Interviews are expected to be held mid-February 2025. #J-18808-Ljbffr
