We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our team as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant Developmental Biology. The successful candidate will be part of an international ERC-funded project aiming to re-engineer by design, a complex developmental system – the flower.
About the Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher to work on a cutting-edge project that focuses on flower development using the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. As part of a collaborative, ERC-funded Synergy project awarded to Dr Marcus Heisler and colleagues, called Reengineering Symmetry Breaking in Development and Evolution (RESYDE), you will work at the University of Sydney in the Heisler lab to document the expression domains of key developmental genes and use fine-scale perturbation approaches combined with live-imaging and multi-plex in situ hybridization to test regulatory hypotheses.
Within this role, your key responsibilities will include helping generate and maintain transgenic Arabidopsis lines containing GFP expression reporters.
Your Key Responsibilities:
* Help generate and maintain transgenic Arabidopsis lines containing GFP expression reporters.
Key Features:
* Fixed term 3-year position with potential to extend
* Located on the Camperdown Campus at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences (SOLES)
* Participate in an international ERC funded team
* Base Salary level A $105,314 - $116,679 p.a + 17% superannuation
