About this position

A funded PhD position is available at the Chair of Plant Systems Biology, School of Life Sciences, Technische Universität München (TUM), in Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany.

The project is titled Control of cell cycle progression by mechanical stress. The doctoral researcher will join a newly established, interactive, and collaborative team working on how mechanical stress influences cell cycle progression in plants. The position builds on a strong research background in plant growth processes regulated by cell-cycle-associated kinases and extends this expertise to a new biological question at the interface of plant cell biology, molecular biology, and mechanobiology.

The Chair of Plant Systems Biology offers strong expertise in relevant molecular, cell biological, biochemical, physiological, and genetic techniques, as well as access to broad facilities on the TUM-Weihenstephan campus and beyond. The project is therefore well suited to a student interested in experimental plant biology, microtubule/cytoskeleton-related processes, and cell cycle regulation.

Applicants should have a Master degree or equivalent in biological sciences and excellent English language skills. The advertisement explicitly describes the role as a funded PhD student position. The application deadline listed is 31 December 2026, although the post also notes that the position is available from November and will remain open until filled.

To apply, candidates should send a letter of motivation and CV by email to the contact address provided by the chair. Further information is available via the chair website and related publication links.
