UPSC is a highly dynamic institute with around 200 employees, 30 principal investigators and about 10 associated principal investigators. Approximately half of our staff is non-Swedish and the working language is English. We recruit researchers from all over the world. More than 40 nations are represented at UPSC. Post-doctoral fellows have the most diverse nationalities, but also our PIs, graduate and undergraduate students represent many different nations.
Are you interested in joining us? Please have a look below for currently open job opportunities. You are also always welcome to contact our principal investigators directly if you are interested in working with them.
A post-doctoral position is available in the Niittylä group at the Umeå Plant Science Centre & Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Sweden, to study carbon assimilation and carbon partitioning in trees.
Last day to apply: 31 December 2024
Project description
The project builds on our recent work on starch metabolism and carbon allocation in Populus and Arabidopsis (Dominquez et al 2021; Wang et al. 2022; Fuenfgeld et al. 2022). We are now looking for a postdoc scientist who will use functional genomics, metabolomics and isotope flux analysis to investigate the molecular mechanisms of carbon partitioning in Populus trees. The project is part of our larger effort to understand the limits of CO2 assimilation and carbon sequestration in the fast-growing pioneer genus Populus.
