**Job Details**:

- The Goossens lab focuses on the characterization of plant signaling networks that steer plant-specialized metabolism within tightly regulated fitness programs, in particular those modulated by stress hormones.
- Using state-of-the-art spectral imaging tools, the Audenaert lab investigates abiotic and biotic stresses in plants and explores innovative approaches to mitigate them or reduce their impact on plant yield and quality. The De Mey lab focuses on the development of standardized, automatable, and generic tools and technologies envisioning a considerable reduction in the cost of biotechnological production processes and the acceleration of their development.-
- This research is framed within a large-scale collaborative project involving the Goossens, Audenaert and De Mey groups, all located at Ghent University. The postdoctoral scientists will occupy key positions in this project, being (1) responsible for launching and conducting groundbreaking science within the project, (2) active within at least two of the partners' labs and (3) involved in the mentoring of PhD students to be hired later during the project. More specifically, the first postdoctoral scientist will be executing and driving cutting-edge research in plant molecular biology and plant immunity. This will involve technologies such as protein interactomics, CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing in plants, transcriptomics, and microscopic
- and macroscopic characterization of (infected) tomato plants. Conversely, the second postdoctoral scientist will be executing and steering innovative experimentation with a more specific focus on microbial (fungal) metabolism, metabolomics and synthetic biology. This will involve technologies such as (un)targeted metabolite profiling, bioactivity assays, CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing in fungi, and synthetic biology in prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic microbes.Profile
- You have a Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Bio-engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Microbiology or equivalent
- You have maximum 3 years of postdoctoral research experience
- You’re fascinated by plant-fungi interactions, plant immunity, regulation of metabolism, metabolites and/or synthetic biology
- You can plan and conduct research independently and accurately
- You can take initiative, function well in a team, breathe enthusiasm and have a hands-on mentality, perseverance and critical mindset
- You have excellent interpersonal skills, to work effectively with team members from different backgrounds and in different research areas
- Proficient use of the English language for both oral and written communication is a must

Desirable but not required
- International experience from PhD and/or postdoc research in plant-microbe interactions, plant immunity, plant or microbial metabolism, metabolomics, and/or synthetic biology is an asset, as well as a publication record in peer-reviewed journals showing expertise in these areas.
- Experience in guidance of master's and/or PhD students is an asset.

We offer
- A full-time competitive salary for a postdoc position for 3 years, according to the Belgian law, with a possibility to extension with another 2 years.
- An exciting and innovative project embedded in a multidisciplinary consortium
- Access to state-of-the-art tools and infrastructure within an excellence-based academic research institute
- A stimulating and supportive international research environment
- Various training opportunities to broaden your expertise and skills, including training and mentoring in scientific writing
- Opportunities to attend scientific conferences and workshops.
- a detailed CV (including publication list if applicable)
- a one-page summary of past research activities (particularly in your PhD project)
- a letter describing your fascination for the topic and the Goossens/Audenaert/De Mey labs
- the contact information of two referees

The position is available from April 2024 onwards. Applications are welcome until the position is filled.
