Job description
With its work, the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) contributes to a better understanding of plant systems and thus to the development of sustainable and resilient horticulture. The IGZ conducts research at the interface between plants, humans, and the environment. In doing so, we address systemic and global challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, urbanization, and malnutrition. We provide scientifically sound recommendations for healthy agri-food systems and sustainable interactions with the environment. The IGZ brings together a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. Employees with different backgrounds conduct research in national and international research co-operations. The IGZ is based in Großbeeren near Potsdam and near Berlin and is a member of the Leibniz Association.
The scientist will be part of the research group “Temperature sensing in plants”. Our group is interested to understand the molecular mechanisms of temperature perception in plants. This knowledge will help us to contribute to the breeding of climate-resilient crops.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious
Reference Number: 07/2024/1
The employment will be initially for two years. The salary will be based on qualification and research experience according to the wage agreement TV-L, up to pay scale 13, full time.
You will be a team player, interested in working in an interdisciplinary programme to understand how temperature sensing mechanisms operate at the cellular, tissue, and plant level. The project seeks to understand proteomic and transcriptomic responses to temperature in the plants, and will use bioinformatic approaches. We are specifically interested in the earliest events following temperature perception and how these influence the subsequent priming and adaptation responses.
