Ph.D. Position in Plant Developmental Genetics/Genomics at Trinity College Dublin
Description : A Ph.D. position is available for up to four years in the Department of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin. Our laboratory is interested in how plant development is controlled by the regulation of gene expression and protein stability. The Ph.D. thesis project will focus on the characterization of transcriptional regulation by components of the ubiquitin system in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To this end, a combination of state-of-the-art molecular genetics and genome-wide methods such as microarray analysis and ultra high-throughput sequencing will be used. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong background and interest in molecular biology and/or biochemistry and/or plant biology, who is able to work independently, but yet enjoys working in a team. The ideal applicant should have previous experience with key techniques of molecular biology and/or biochemistry and/or plant biology. Basic knowledge of bioinformatics is an advantage but not a must.
We offer excellent research conditions with state-of-the-art infrastructure in a highly dynamic and collegial environment. Trinity College (www.tcd.ie) is Ireland’s leading university with ~15,000 students, situated in the heart of Dublin city. Applicants must hold a B.Sc., M.Sc., or equivalent, as well as citizenship of an E.U. member country.
The start date for this position is October 1, 2009. Annual tax-free salary will range from €16,875 in year 1 to €19,000 in year 4. Please send a detailed CV and contact details of two referees to Dr. Emmanuelle Graciet (graciete@tcd.ie).
