Missions
The researcher will lead a project aimed at characterizing the functional and molecular transport of gibberellins (GA), a class of phytohormones. To this end, the researcher will use genetics and molecular approaches to study in Arabidopsis the role of a family of transporters. The researcher will benefit from the laboratory's genetic resources and skills, and benefit from the Institute's infrastructure
Activités
The researcher will be responsible for carrying out various experimental tasks of the project. These activities include (i) phenotypic and molecular generation and analysis of multiple mutants; (ii) observation of fluorescent proteins by confocal microscopy; (iii) statistical analysis and graphical representation of gene expression data.
Compétences
In-depth knowledge on phytohormones, ideally gibberellins
Good knowledge of developmental biology
In-depth knowledge on plant experimentation
Good experience in molecular and cell biology techniques
Ability to work independently and write reports
In-depth knowledge in statistics
Contexte de travail
The researcher will work at Institut de Biologie Moléculaire des Plantes (IBMP) of Strasbourg. The IBMP is the largest CNRS institute working on plant biology, located on the Esplanade campus of the University of Strasbourg, near the city's historic center. The IBMP provides a research of excellence aiming, through the study of fundamental processes of the life of plants, to answer social challenges in nutrition, health and environment. The institute hosts 16 teams and state of the art platforms in imaging, metabolomics, gene expression analyses and plant production. The research will be carried out in the "Gibberellins and plant adaptation" research team headed by Patrick Achard.
Contraintes et risques
The researcher will take part in the newcomer's day, during which safety instructions will be explained.
