Ph.D. Position in Plant Functional Genomics (Plant Functional Genomics Group)

5/26/2023

 
More Info
Institution
University of Alberta
Location
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Close Date
July 31, 2023
Start Date
January 1, 2024

Description
The Uhrig lab is focused on understanding how plant cells are regulated throughout the day at the
protein-level using advanced quantitative proteomics, biochemistry and diverse functional genomic
techniques. At the protein-level, protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as protein
phosphorylation, play a critical role in the regulation of cellular processes. The PhD research of the
applicant will focus on utilizing quantitative proteomics and functional genomics to define novel intersections between cell signaling events and the underlying cellular processes governing plant growth and development. To undertake this work, the student will utilize the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, but will be part of a research program utilizing a diversity of plant systems directly and through extensive collaboration.

Qualifications
  • BSc or MSc in biochemistry, plant science or equivalent.
  • Excellent oral and written abilities in English.
  • An ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team.
  • Tangible hands-on experience with molecular and/or biochemical techniques.
  • Basic bioinformatics experience (e.g. R, Python).

Eligibility, Admissions and Finances
For all admission requirements and funding details on graduate studies in the Department of Biological Sciences, please refer to the Department of Biological Sciences website. Admission is subject to academic and English language requirements set by the Department.

Interested students are highly encouraged to apply for eligible internal and external graduate student scholarships and will receive active support from the Uhrig lab in these funding applications. Additional funding and financial aid opportunities for international students can be found here.
