About this position
Postdoctoral opportunity at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Department of Plant Biology, in Uppsala, Sweden.
The project focuses on chromatin dynamics, transcription, and genome regulation during extreme desiccation tolerance in plants. The research asks how resurrection plants and related systems reorganize nuclei and gene regulatory programs to survive severe water loss, preserve genome integrity, and restore normal gene expression after rehydration.
The successful candidate will join the research group led by Stefanie Rosa and work in a collaborative environment spanning plant cell biology, genetics, genomics, developmental biology, and advanced microscopy at Uppsala BioCenter.
Eligibility: applicants should hold a PhD in plant biology, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, or a related field. Experience with molecular biology, cell biology, and plant developmental biology is advantageous. Strong English communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are expected.
Employment: 24-month temporary postdoctoral position, full-time, with possible extension.
Deadline: 30 September 2026.
How to apply: submit the application through the SLU/ReachMee portal and include a motivation letter, CV with full publication list, and contact details for two to three referees.
