PhD in Plant Developmental Biology at University of Montreal University of Montreal in Canada

The University of Montreal is offering a Ph.D. opportunity in plant developmental biology within the Plant Science Research Institute. The position focuses on studying the cellular dynamics underlying the formation of laminar organs in plants, using quantitative imaging, developmental biology, and biophysical approaches to understand plant morphogenesis. The laboratory, led by Associate Professor Daniel Kierzkowski, values diversity and interdisciplinary collaboration, and is seeking motivated, independent, and collaborative candidates who are comfortable working in a research environment that combines multiple scientific disciplines.

Applicants must be currently based outside Canada and should have a strong background in plant developmental biology, quantitative imaging, or biophysics. The application requires a CV, a one-page motivation letter clearly specifying scientific interests, and the contact information for two referees. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2026.
