Applications are invited for a PostDoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Plant molecular Biology with a particular emphasis on Protein Modification systems. The research project aims to understand how an emerging protein modification, SUMOylation can be exploited to boost resistance against multiple environmental stresses. The PDRA must be experienced in plant biochemistry, in particular in proteomic methods for peptide and protein analysis including detection of protein post-translational modifications.

The successful applicant will be expected to use state of the art proteomics to identify SUMOylated target proteins in Arabidopsis during drought and salt stresses. The PDRA will validate these targets as controllers of drought and salt resistance mechanisms in Arabidopsis.

This post is full time and fixed term from 01 December 2019 until 30 November 2022.

Closes midday on : 22-Nov-2019
