PhD Position in Plant Cell and Molecular Biology

The Technical University of Munich is offering a funded PhD position at the Chair of Plant Systems Biology within the School of Life Sciences in Freising-Weihenstephan. The selected candidate will join a newly established, collaborative team investigating how mechanical stress regulates plant cell cycle progression. The project builds upon established expertise in cell-cycle-associated kinases and plant growth processes. The successful applicant will employ a wide range of molecular, cell biological, biochemical, physiological, and genetic techniques available on campus.

• Conduct independent research investigating how mechanical stress controls plant cell cycle progression.
• Apply molecular, cell biological, biochemical, physiological, and genetic techniques to experimental questions.
• Collaborate closely with an interactive team of researchers within the Chair of Plant Systems Biology.
• Analyze experimental data and contribute to scientific publications and presentations.
• Participate in laboratory meetings, academic discussions, and campus-wide scientific events.
