Postdoctoral Position In Plant Electrophysiology
Starting date: immediately or upon agreement
Work place:
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Profile wanted:
Applicants must have a doctorate in a related field, extensive experience in
electrophysiology (animal or plant), and an interest in plant physiology
Description of research topic and environment:
A postdoctoral position is available for research on the roles of electrical signalling in
the wound response in the plant model Arabidopsis. The work involves collaboration
between the dedicated electrophysiology laboratory
of Stephan Kellenberger (http://www.unil.ch/dpt/page61353_en.html)
and a laboratory studying the molecular genetics of the wound response in Arabidopsis
(Edward Farmer; http://www.unil.ch/dbmv/page8006_en.html). The Farmer laboratory
has recently found fast biochemical responses to wounding that may be initiated by ion
fluxes (J. Biol. Chem. 284, 34506). In addition a gain-of-function ion channel mutant
identified in the laboratory mimics the wound response (Plant J. 49, 889). We seek
someone to conduct electrophysiology experiments on intact plants (primarily
intracellular recordings). One aim of the project is to test whether electrical activity is
critical in the wound response. This multidisciplinary project is situated in the vibrant
lakeside environment.
Application:
Applications, including the names of three referees should be addressed by email to
Stephan Kellenberger, Département de Pharmacologie et de Toxicologie, UNIL, Rue
du Bugnon 27, CH-1005 Lausanne, Stephan.Kellenberger@unil.ch or to Edward
Farmer, Département de biologie moléculaire végétale, UNIL, Bâtiment Biophore,
1015
essential and we will only reply to applicants with such publications.
