The following position is to be filled at the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) at the earliest possible date, for a fixed term of three years, as part of the DFG funded project “A modular prion-like domain code for the activation of the heat shock factors in plants”:

PhD student (f,m,div) in Plant Biology
Reference number: 26/2025/1

The salary will be based on qualification and research experience according to the wage agreement TV-L, up to pay scale 13, 65% of the regular working time. The conferral of a doctorate is possible at University of Potsdam.

The position is part of the research group ADAPT.1 (Temperature Sensing in Plants) in the programme area ‘Plant Adaptation’ (ADAPT). The aim of the research project is to understand how intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) and prion-like domains (PLDs) control the temperature responsiveness of the HSF transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana. The project builds on a recent paper showing how HSFs in Arabidopsis undergo liquid-liquid phase separation in response to temperature (Peng et al., (2025) Molecular Plant.
