Postdoc position in plant reproduction research
Project title: Pollen thermotolerance and plant reproduction fitness
3-year fully funded postdoc position
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Pollen Biology Lab in the Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic (
www.pollenbiology.cz)
Project description:
We study plant reproduction, namely the regulatory mechanisms affecting pollen development and function. The aim is to investigate in detail the regulation of the male gametophyte fitness and reproductive competence under suboptimal temperature conditions and its link to existing heat-stress response regulatory pathways that have been evolutionarily integrated into the standard pollen development.
What we offer:
• Work on a competitive project in a young, international and inspiring team.
• Access to Core Facilities and state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced imaging and sequencing technologies
• A range of diverse and stimulating responsibilities within an outstanding research environment.
• Interaction with renowned scientists within an inspiring, globally connected setting.

• Competitive postdoc salary, social and health insurance and additional benefits
• Possible move to tenure-track
Who we are looking for:
• Highly motivated independent individuals, team players interested in plant reproductive biology.
• Candidate should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree with a background in plant biology.
• Thorough experience with molecular and cell biology, microscopy and bioinformatics.
• Candidate should have a decent publishing record in plant sciences - molecular or cell biology
