Dear,
Would it be possible to post that job offer? I thank you for your help.
Post-doc position in bioinformatics at ULB: Genes and gene networks
analysis related to root morphological response to nitrogen supply in
plants
Lab. of Plant Physiology and Molecular Genetics, Université libre de
Bruxelles, Brussels, BE
Mineral nitrogen (N) is the quantitatively most important nutrient in
cropping systems. However, a considerable N fraction is lost through
runoffs with detrimental consequences for the environment and human
health. Increasing the plant N uptake by optimizing the degree of root
branching for exploring a larger soil volume in search of the mobile
nitrate resource may contribute to limit soil leaching. Oilseed rape
(Brassica napus L.) is a major oil crop showing whose production highly
dependents on N fertilization. The project aims at understanding the
genetic control of root system architecture and how it is impacted by N
nutrition. A measurable outcome will be to provide genetic markers for
selecting new crop genotypes with positive root morphological features.
One post-doc fellowship for non-Belgian resident (3 years) - as early as
October 2019
Relevant experience: Arabidopsis - Brassica genomics, QTL mapping
(association and linkage), ShoreMap, gene networks
Eligibility: Maximum 6 years after PhD, no more than 24 months residence
in Belgium during the three last years
Enthusiastic researchers meeting these criteria (only those with
previous experience in bioinformatics will be considered) are kindly
invited to contact Christian HERMANS (chermans(a)ulb.ac.be) Include your
CV, qualifications and the names of two academic referees whom I can
approach prior to appointment. Applications must be received by August
15th 2019.
With kind regards,
Christian Hermans
