PhD Fellowship in Multilevel Modeling of Cellular and Developmental Processes in plants
PhD Fellowship in Multilevel Modeling of Cellular and Developmental Processes in plants
The Auxin, Polarity, Patterning lab of the Department of Plant Systems Biology at VIB/Ghent University is looking for a talented master and/or postgraduate student to work on the modeling of subcellular dynamics and auxin-driven development (4 year scholarship).
Project description
Plant development is characterized by a remarkable adaptability to different environmental conditions. Plants have the flexibility to re-organize post-embryonic developmental patterning through regulation of asymmetric distributions (gradients) of the plant growth regulator auxin.
Auxin is unique among plant signaling molecules, because it is polarly transported through plant tissues and its transport largely depends on subcellular localization of auxin efflux carriers – PIN proteins. Our lab aims to understand mechanisms of PIN polarization and auxin mediated plant morphogenesis using experimental and theoretical approaches.
This PhD project will involve multilevel computer modeling of auxin signaling, auxin
transport and PIN polarity guided by a feedback between in silico model predictions and wet-lab
experiments. The successful candidate will closely work with other modelers and biologists.
Profile
- Background in Theoretical Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science,
or Bioinformatics
- Interest in developmental and cell biology
- Knowledge of programming languages (C++, matlab)
- Fluent in English
Please e-mail your CV, a letter of motivation and the contact details of three references to Prof.
Jiri Friml (jifri@psb.vib-ugent.be).
More info about the lab can be found at http://www.psb.ugent.be/the-ipb-division/auxin. The anticipated start date of the project is at the earliest convenience.
