PhD Scholarship in Plant Molecular Biology

PhD Scholarship in Plant Molecular Biology

The group of Jun.-Prof. A. Richter for the ‚Physiology of Plant Metabolism’ seeks a highly motivated candidate (f/m/d) for a PhD Scholarship in the field of plant molecular biology.

The work of the group is dedicated to the understanding of the physiological aspects and molecular mechanisms, which allow plants to acclimate to an ever-changing environment (e.g., high light or low temperature). On the one hand, we are interested to understand how plants recognise changes in the environment and how these stimuli are translated into signals to modify the expression of genes in the nucleus needed to cope with the new environment (intracellular signalling). On the other hand, using physiological, genetic, and biochemical analysis, we aim to understand how enzymes, particularly those involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, are regulated on the post-translational level. Also, the group’s work aims to translate findings from basic research into biotechnological applications by analysing the impact of anthocyanins on plant fitness during acclimation.
