You will be updated with latest job alerts via emailThe VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology (PSB) is a world-leading plant science institute located at the heart of a renowned plant biotechnology campus in Ghent Belgium. Its mission is to unravel plant biological processes and translate this knowledge into value for society. The Vandepoele lab is home to an enthusiastic diverse and international group of researchers.
Ghent the second largest city of Flanders is a university city and cultural hub. Only half an hour away from Antwerp and Brussels by train and centrally located in Europe Ghent has a scenic yet cosy well-preserved historical center and a lively multi-cultural atmosphere. Ghent and the greater region of Flanders is internationally-oriented and tech-minded with a strong biotechnology sector with spin-offs and start-ups creating a natural home for researchers and their families. English is very widely spoken in the city and surrounding area.
We are looking for a postdoctoral molecular biologist to decipher the regulatory code controlling gene expression in plants through the engineering and large-scale validation of synthetic promoters.
Within the ERC-funded multiCODE project we aim to unravel how plants control gene expression across different tissues and stress conditions by combining single-cell genomics artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. Apart from shedding light on the fundamental aspects of transcriptional control this project also opens new avenues for the design of climate-resilient crops.
