The post-doc fellowship supported by the stipend from Kempe Foundation is available to study cell wall in Ewa Mellerowicz’s lab at UPSC, Sweden.
Applications are considered until the position is filled.
Plant cell walls are protecting the protoplasts, regulating cell shape, and providing tissue strength. They are also involved in signalling used to coordinate development. This project is aiming at identifying hydrophobic components in cell wall and characterization of their dynamics (qualitative and quantitative analysis).
The candidate must have a strong background in biochemistry and good knowledge of GC-MS and HPLC techniques with multivariate analysis skills. Documented ability to identify individual chemical components in complex mixtures is required. The knowledge of plant lipids and/or NMR techniques is an asset.
