Open Position: Computational Plant
Biologist (Postdoc / E13)

Understanding signaling networks in dynamic environments. Our lab at the University of Hohenheim uses (phospho)proteomics experimental data in combination with protein-protein interaction data to analyze the dynamics of signaling networks at the plasma membrane in response to changing nutrient conditions. In a newly funded project we will apply established and novel computational tools to gain insights specifically into the dynamic rewiring of stimulus-induced plant signaling networks. In a longer-term perspective, we aim to apply these methods to field experiments. We provide a stimulating research environment embedded in a network of local, national, and international collaborations.

Required Qualifications: Candidates should be highly motivated to work in an international team and have substantial expertise in computational biology, modeling of signaling circuits or comparable. Experience in interdisciplinary work with experimental plant biologists is desirable. Salary is according to TV-L. Extension beyond 2 years is possible after evaluation. The University of Hohenheim seeks to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and therefore strongly encourages female scientists to apply. With equal qualifications, preference will be given to candidates with disabilities.

Application: Please send your application including letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, publication list and transcripts of degrees by email to Prof. Waltraud Schulze: wschulze@uni-hohenheim.de. Applications are welcome until 28^th June, 2019. The position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
