Project description:

We have recently identified the durable fungal disease resistance gene Lr34 in wheat (Krattinger et al. 2009, Science 323, 1360). Lr34 encodes an ABC transporter of the PDR family. The successful candidate will be responsible for a project to study the biochemical function of this protein (transport studies in heterologous systems, identification of transported molecules), as well as on genetic and molecular approaches to understand Lr34 function.

Requirements:

PhD in molecular biology or biochemistry. A strong experimental background both in molecular genetics and biochemistry is essential, previous work on transport processes is an advantage. Demonstrated ability to successfully complete projects.

Application:

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, list of  publications, and names and phone numbers of three references.
