About this position
The University of Osnabrück, Faculty of Biology/Chemistry, Department of Botany, is offering a Research Assistant position (m/f/d) focused on the role of TGA transcription factors and their ROXY co-regulators in plant reproduction. The project is part of the DFG Research Unit 'Innovation and Coevolution in sexual reproduction of plants' (ICIPS, FOR 5098) and investigates molecular and morphological analyses of TGA/ROXY functions, using model systems such as Marchantia polymorpha and Riccia fluitans, as well as Arabidopsis thaliana. The research will address reproductive organ development, adaptation to stress factors, and redox processes in evolutionary informative liverworts.
Key tasks include molecular and morphological analyses, use of bryophyte model systems, expression and metabolome/redox sensor analyses, data evaluation, and publication writing. The position offers the opportunity to work towards a PhD outside working hours.
Applicants must have a Master's degree in biology or related fields, with experience in molecular and/or cell biological techniques. Ideal candidates will have experience with Arabidopsis and/or bryophyte model organisms, knowledge of bioinformatics, a structured and team-oriented working style, and excellent English skills. The position is funded for three years at 65% (E 13 TV-L), with access to state-of-the-art equipment, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional development opportunities.
Applications should be submitted as a single document, including the reference number and two references, by January 15, 2026, to Prof. Dr. Sabine Zachgo ([email protected]). For more information, visit the academic profile page. The university is committed to equality and family-friendly policies.
Funding details
The position is funded for three years at salary group E 13 TV-L, 65%. Additional benefits include access to state-of-the-art equipment, opportunities for career development and professional training, and work in an interactive DFG research unit.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Master's degree (M.Sc. or comparable) in biology or related fields. High motivation and interest in linking genetic, cell biological, and evolutionary aspects is required. Candidates should have work experience with molecular and/or cell biological techniques. Ideally, applicants possess experience with Arabidopsis and/or bryophyte model organisms, knowledge in bioinformatic methods, a structured, independent and team-oriented working style, and excellent command of English (oral and written).
