Gent, Belgique VIB Temps plein

**Postdoctoral researcher and a PhD student to investigate the interplay between the Secretory Carrier Membrane Proteins and the plasma membrane aquaporins in Arabidopsis.**:
**The Van Damme lab and the Chaumont lab have joined forces via an FWO-weave project. Within this project, there are two 4-year positions available.** **A postdoctoral researcher position in the Van Damme lab and a PhD position in the Chaumont lab. **The PhD student and the postdoc will work in close collaboration on the interplay between the secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs), which are cargo of the endocytic TPLATE complex (Arora et al., Plant Cell 2020 and Yperman et al. Science Advances 2021), and the plasma membrane aquaporins (PIPs). We aim to identify how the SCAMP proteins are involved in the trafficking and/or activity of the PIPs. The research will involve interactomics, live cell imaging, mutant analysis, structural modelling (e.g. AF2) as well as physiological assays on water permeability in Arabidopsis protoplasts as well as in Xenopus oocytes. The PhD student will be based in UCLouvain and the postdoc will be based in Ghent. As this is a truly joint project, both the student and the postdoc will be able to benefit from the available expertise in both labs.

**Profile**:
**Profile 1. PhD student**
- Master's degree in biology/bio-engineering, or equivalent, with a strong interest in plant biology and some experience in plant molecular and cellular biology or physiology.

**Profile 2. Postdoctoral researcher**
- Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Biology, Bio-engineering, or equivalent.
- Required proven expertise in: live cell imaging, cloning (e.g. Golden Gate, Gibson), protein biochemistry, guidance of master and/or PhD students.
- Desired expertise in: interactomics, stomatal dynamics, Alphafold modelling. Experience in supervising Ph.D. students is also considered a plus.

Join us to undertake a highly innovative project that combines cell biology and plant physiology and that has the potential to discover novel ways how drought tolerance of plants can be increased.

**We offer**:

- State-of-the-art laboratory environment.
- An inclusive group atmosphere and a spot in a dynamic and diverse team of researchers.
- A versatile and challenging academic environment with very diverse contacts.
- Various opportunities to broaden your expertise and to train in many cutting-edge technologies.
- Training courses in academic, technical, and career skills.
- An initial 1-year contract, which can be extended up to 4 years.

Starting Date: as soon as possible.

**How to apply?**:

- A 1-page summary of your research experiences and future goals
- A one-page letter of intent describing your motivation for this position. The motivation for the position should be focused on the project (what would you like to do when you get it) and not on previous achievements.
- a detailed CV including a publication list
- contact information of 2-3 references
