PhD position in genetics and cell biology of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis

A PhD position is available in the group of Didier Reinhardt at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). We are looking for a motivated young researcher with an interest in plant-microbe interactions and symbiosis, and with a strong background in molecular biology. The successful candidate will analyze mutants affected in the establishment of AM symbiosis. The project will involve molecular and biochemical techniques, as well as cellular biology and various imaging techniques.

The project will be related to work described in the following papers:

D.M.R. Sekhara Reddy, M. Schorderet, U. Feller and D. Reinhardt. (2007). A petunia mutant affected in intracellular accomodation and morphogenesis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Plant J. 51, 739-750.

N. Feddermann, R.R. Duvvuru Muni, T. Zeier, J. Stuurman, F. Ercolin, M. Schorderet, D. Reinhardt. (2010). The PAM1 gene of petunia, required for intracellular accommodation and morphogenesis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, encodes a homologue of VAPYRIN. Plant J. 64, 470-481.

N. Feddermann and D. Reinhardt (2011) Conserved residues in the ankyrin domain of VAPYRIN indicate potential protein-protein interaction surfaces. Plant Signaling & Behavior, 6, 680-684.

F. Ercolin and D. Reinhardt (2011). Successful joint ventures of plants: arbuscular mycorrhiza and beyond. Trends in Plant Science, 16, 356-362.

Candidates should hold a master degree and have a solid background in basic molecular techniques. Additional knowledge in biochemistry and cell biology would be welcome. The position is available from March 2012. The communication language is english.

Applications, including CV, a brief statement of research experience and interests as well as contact information of two referees, should be submitted to Didier Reinhardt ([e-mail])
