Postdoctoral Fellow

Postdoctoral position in Plant Plant Biochemistry and Autophagy. We seek a dynamic and proficient individual to contribute to our ongoing research endeavors focused on unraveling the molecular mechanisms behind selective autophagy and plant abiotic stress responses. This project centers on initiation, purification, and comprehension of stress-induced specific autophagosome proteome. Our goal is to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying stress-induced autophagosomes and comprehensively characterize their proteome. The successful candidate will engage in a multifaceted approach encompassing protein biochemistry, proteomics, molecular genetics, genome editing, and cell biology. Primarily, these investigations will be conducted in Arabidopsis and Tobacco, with a subsequent translation of acquired knowledge to relevant crop species. This position, available for an immediate start and up to 3 years, is affiliated with the research group led by Henri Batoko at the Louvain Institute of Biomolecular Science and Technology (LIBST), at the University of Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
