postdoc position at the CNB, Madrid

Postdoctoral position in plant development
The Laboratory of Dr. Pilar Cubas, in the Department of Plant
Molecular Genetics at the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB)
offers a 3 year postdoctoral position. Starting date April-June 2009.
We are studying the genetic control of shoot branching, a major
determinant of plant architecture. We have characterized BRANCHED1
(BRC1), an Arabidopsis TCP gene that controls this decision acting
inside the axillary buds. We have also shown that BRC1 integrates the
response to environmental and developmental signals controlling
branching (Aguilar-Martínez et al. 2007, Plant Cell 19: 458-472).
The postdoc will work in one of the following topics:
1. BRC1 transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational
regulation
2. Identification and characterization of BRC1 target genes
3. Role of TCP transcription factors in plant growth and development
Applicants with a Ph.D. in Genetics, Biochemistry or Molecular
Biology, publications in international journals and a strong
background in molecular biology, developmental biology or plant
genetics are encouraged to apply. Please send CV, brief description of
previous research and names of three references to: Pilar Cubas,

Biotecnología. E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
