Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology

Research Assistant

Job Description
1. Unit
  Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology
2. JobTitle
  Research Assistant
3. Work Content
  We are looking for a 1-2 year short term research assistant on molecular biology. You will be involved in any of the following projects:
  
  Topic 1 Plant synthetic biology: To build a synthetic polarity circuit in plant root hair to hijack and modulate root hair tip growth.
  
  Topic 2: Fungal cell polarity: To elucidate how differences in the polarity proteins in yeast and filamentous fungi influence the spatial temporal dynamics of cell polarity.
  
  Topic 3: Bacterial communication within biofilms: Bacteria form multicellular communities called biofilms. Biofilms develop using patterned cell differentiation, similar to embryogenesis. This project aims to elucidate how oscillators within individual bacteria couple with each other to form synchronized patterns collectively in a biofilm.
  
  Who we are looking for: People who are 1. experienced and skilled in molecular cloning, specifically making plasmid constructs, and 2. want to learn more.
  
  What you will learn: All of the topics above heavily rely on the crosstalk between Dynamic Systems Theory, and Molecular Cell Biology. The lab is integrally good at Live Cell Imaging, Image Analysis, Coding, Dynamic Modeling, and Microfluidics. We encourage you to see this as an opportunity to learn something new for your future career.
4. Qualifications
  • A bachelor degree (or above) on Biological Sciences.
  • Expertise in molecular cloning.
  • Communication skills in English.
