Opportunity for working at RIKEN Plant Science Center

Dear Arabidopsis researchers

RIKEN Plant Science Center
Research Associate and Postdoctoral Fellow in the Growth Regulation
Research Team

Opportunity for Research at RIKEN Plant Science Center in Japan

This team will develop a comprehensive, high-throughput hormone
analysis system to study localization and transport of plant
hormones. Candidates for one research associate and one postdoctoral
fellow are searched. The successful candidate for both positions will
hold a PhD degree (obtained within the past three years for the
research associate), have research experience in plant biology, and
be familiar with plant hormone biochemistry and analysis. We seek
highly motivated scientists in conducting interdisciplinary research
on plant hormones in cooperation with other lab members.

Research theme:

* Development of a new comprehensive plant hormone analysis
system using GC-MS and LC-MS.
* Study on localization and transport of plant hormones in plants.
* Isoprenoid biosynthesis in plants (especially in plastids)
using labeled intermediates of MEP and MVA pathways.

Besides Research Associates who directly belong to the team and are
to be engaged in specific projects above, independently proposed
themes related to our theme will be also considered. It is
recommended that candidates apply for JSPS (for foreigners
[Only registered users see links. ] or Japanese
[Only registered users see links. ]) or RIKEN Special Postdoctoral
Researcher (SPR; for Japanese only
[Only registered users see links. ]).

Application dead line: As soon as good candidate is available.
Start of working: 1 April, or later.
