The scientist will be part of the research group “Temperature sensing in plants” at Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) . Our group is interested to understand the molecular mechanisms of temperature perception in plants. This knowledge will help us to contribute to the breeding of climate resilient crops. We are looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Postdoctoral Researcher (f,m,div) in Plant Temperature Sensing, Reference Number: 29/2024/1.
Employment will be initially until December 31, 2026. The salary will be based on qualification and research experience according to the wage agreement TV-L, up to pay scale 13, full time.

You will be a team player, interested in working in an interdisciplinary programme to understand how temperature sensing mechanisms operate at the cellular level. The project seeks to understand how plant developmental pathways respond to temperature in the meristem. We are specifically interested in the earliest events following temperature perception and how these influence the subsequent priming and adaptation responses in the meristem.

Tasks include
• analysis of the effect of PrD variation on temperature dependent gene expression
• creation of assays to analyse the dynamics and responsiveness of gene expression in response to temperature
• original research tasks identifying genes necessary for conferring tolerance to temperature stress
• working with other team members to analyse and investigate experimental datasets
• writing scientific publications and presentation of results to international scientific audience
