Postdoctoral Position In Plant Electrophysiology

Postdoctoral Position In Plant Electrophysiology

Starting date: immediately or upon agreement

Work place: University of Lausanne, Department of Plant Molecular Biology and

Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology

Profile wanted:

Applicants must have a doctorate in a related field, extensive experience in

electrophysiology (animal or plant), and an interest in plant physiology

Description of research topic and environment:

A postdoctoral position is available for research on the roles of electrical signalling in

the wound response in the plant model Arabidopsis. The work involves collaboration

between the dedicated electrophysiology laboratory

of Stephan Kellenberger (http://www.unil.ch/dpt/page61353_en.html)

and a laboratory studying the molecular genetics of the wound response in Arabidopsis

(Edward Farmer; http://www.unil.ch/dbmv/page8006_en.html). The Farmer laboratory

has recently found fast biochemical responses to wounding that may be initiated by ion

fluxes (J. Biol. Chem. 284, 34506). In addition a gain-of-function ion channel mutant

identified in the laboratory mimics the wound response (Plant J. 49, 889). We seek

someone to conduct electrophysiology experiments on intact plants (primarily

intracellular recordings). One aim of the project is to test whether electrical activity is

critical in the wound response. This multidisciplinary project is situated in the vibrant

Lausanne biomedical research community. Lausanne and nearby Geneva offer a superb

lakeside environment.

Application:

Applications, including the names of three referees should be addressed by email to

Stephan Kellenberger, Département de Pharmacologie et de Toxicologie, UNIL, Rue

du Bugnon 27, CH-1005 Lausanne, Stephan.Kellenberger@unil.ch or to Edward

Farmer, Département de biologie moléculaire végétale, UNIL, Bâtiment Biophore,

1015 Lausanne, edward.farmer@unil.ch. A publication record in electrophysiology is

essential and we will only reply to applicants with such publications.
