Your qualifications:

To complement our team, we are looking for a PhD student interested in identifying and characterizing novel regulators of cyclic photosynthetic electron flow.

We employ a large suite of different techniques ranging from genetic screens to molecular biological, biochemical and biophysical approaches. Interested and motivated applicants should have a strong background in molecular biology.

Benefits:

We offer a well-equipped, modern and highly interactive research environment within the LMU Biology Campus, Martinsried.

People with disabilities who are equally as qualified as other applicants will receive preferential treatment.
