UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG DEPARTMENT OF PLANT AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES POST DOCTORAL POSITION IN PLANT CELL BIOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF LIPID SIGNALING A highly motivated post doc is sought for a one year position with possible extension for another year in the field of plant cell biology.   The project deals with recognition and defense against non-host pathogens in Arabidopsis. The project will explore the role of lipid signaling in defense and genetic networks. Techniques employed will include reverse- and forward genetics, lipid biochemistry and fluorescence microscopy. Successful applicants should have a PhD in plant cell biology or a similar subject. Experience in plant pathogen-interactions and/or lipid biochemistry will be considered strong merits. The tax-free stipend is for one year, with the possible extension for an additional year, and roughly corresponds to 2000 Euros (SEK 18000) per month.
