PhD Scholarship in the field of Chromosome Biology-The Leibniz Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)
In the framework of a research project, which aims to elucidate the epigenetic regulation of kinetochore assembly in plants using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model, IPK are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to support our team.
[vc_text_separator title=” More Details ” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”green” border_width=”2″]
Your tasks:
- You are going to study how a knockout of the cenH3 (centromeric histone H3) assembly factor KNL2 influences the methylation of the global Arabidopsis genome and how the directed targeting of epigenetic factors like MET1 and VIM1 to centromeres regulate kinetochore assembly and function.
- You will perform molecular cloning, plant transformation, characterization of Arabidopsis mutants, and biochemical and cytological methods.
Opportunity Focus Areas:
- Chromosome Biology
- Plant physiology
- Biochemistry
- Molecular biology
- Cytology
- Epigenetics
