Master student position at the Institute of Molecular Physiology
Recruitment is open for a Master student position at the Institute of Molecular Physiology (Head: Wolf B. Frommer) in the faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.
Our research topic is focused on identifying factors involved in the function of the phloem. In this project, the student will use forward genetics, confocal microscopy, and CRISPR-Cas9 mediated mutagenesis to screen for factors affecting the development of phloem parenchyma - an enigmatic cell type of the leaf.
The successful candidate will be involved in :
- Screening for phloem parenchyma defective candidates from EMS mutagenized Arabidopsis plants.
- Generation of genomic DNA libraries and sequencing
- CRISPR-Cas9 mutant generation and phenotyping
Qualification profile:
- BSc (or equivalent) in biology, agricultural sciences, biotechnology, molecular and cell biology, or related fields.
- Good communication and organizational skills.
- Good team-working skills.
- Good knowledge in English, written and spoken
- Knowledge of plant biology is an advantage but not mandatory
Interested students should send a CV and motivation letter to jiyun.kim@hhu.de.
Detailed information on the scientific interests of the institute is found on www.molecular-physiology.hhu.de.
