Phd Student Position in Brassinosteroid Hormone Research
il y a 1 jour
**Job description**:
Phytohormones play a central role in regulating cell division and differentiation, shaping the overall course of plant development. Importantly, the synergy and interdependence of hormone signalling pathways are critical for driving cell cycle progression. These coordinated hormonal activities influence not only the rate of cell division but also the duration and dynamics of each phase of the cell cycle. With the advent of advanced technologies, such as single-cell genomics and live-cell imaging, we can now explore hormone regulation at unprecedented single-cell resolution. Using these tools, we have observed dynamic fluctuations in brassinosteroid signalling throughout different stages of the cell cycle (Vukašinović and Hsu et al., 2025, Cell).
We are looking for a motivated PhD student to investigate how hormonal signals are integrated and coordinated to control the plant cell cycle machinery. This project will combine live-cell imaging, phosphoproteomics, and metabolite profiling to unravel the complexity of phytohormonal regulation at the cellular level.
**Profile**:

Master's degree in Plant Biotechnology, Plant Physiology, Biology, Molecular Biology, Physiology, or a related discipline. You are fluent in English (spoken and written).
