GREGOR MENDEL INSTITUTE

POSTDOC - PLANT SELECTIVE AUTOPHAGY

The GREGOR MENDEL INSTITUTE (GMI) is a leading institute in the field of
plant molecular biology located at the prestigious Vienna Biocenter. The
growing institute has ~110 employees from 30 different countries and the
working language is English.
For more information see www.gmi.oeaw.ac.at


The Dagdas Group is seeking skilled and motivated postdocs to join our
lab at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI). Our long term goal is to gain
mechanistic insight into the role of SELECTIVE AUTOPHAGY IN PLANT
DEVELOPMENT AND STRESS TOLERANCE. Our initial objective is to generate a
framework to study autophagy at a cell type specific resolution.

Some of the research topics that we will initially focus are:
  (1) discovering/characterizing novel selective autophagy receptors and
cargoes.
  Desirable skills include proteomics, protein biochemistry and
structural biology.
  (2) dissecting autophagosome biogenesis and trafficking.
  Desirable skills include Arabidopsis genetics and live cell imaging.

PRIORITY will be given to postdocs who have identified independent
funding sources and are willing to apply.

The Gregor Mendel Institute's research activities are superbly supported
by a multi-layered, world-class infrastructure. Lab members will be
supported by the campus CORE FACILITIES provide cutting edge services on
proteomics, microscopy, protein chemistry, molecular biology and plant
growth. For more information, see http://www.vbcf.ac.at/home/ [3]

Please send your application, including a cover letter describing your
research interests, a curriculum vitae outlining previous educational
and research experience, and contact details for three referees, to
Yasin Dagdas (yasin.dagdas(at)gmi.oeaw.ac.at).

The expected starting date for this position is January 2017. The
position is initially for 2 years but can be extended based on
performance. The annual salary for this position is EUR ~50.000.

Applications will be reviewed from 1st of September, and will continue
