植物微生物组方向招生招聘

4 DFG-funded positions to study the plant microbiota

德国科隆马克思普朗克植物育种研究所植物与微生物互作中现向海内外招收3名博士生，1名博后职位。
主要研究方法为群体水平植物与微生物互作、植物免疫在微生物组形成中作用、植物微生物组数据计算分析流程开发。

The Department of Plant-Microbe Interactions at the The Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding
Research (MPIPZ) in Cologne, Germany, invites applications for three PhD positions and one
postdoctoral position to investigate community-level assembly of plant-microbe interactions, the
role of the plant immune system in shaping resident microbial consortia and to establish
computational pipelines for analysis of plant microbiota data.

职位列表Positions

• 1 PhD position in the group of Jane Parker (in collaboration with Alga Zuccaro at Cologne
  University) is to investigate the impact of Arabidopsis immunity programmes on root fungal
  endophyte colonization;
• 1 PhD position in the group of Kenichi Tsuda is to study the impact of plant immunity on the
  functions of commensal bacteria and the plant microbiota;
• 1 PhD position in the group of Stéphane Hacquard is to carry out genome-resolved fungal
  metatranscriptomics within synthetic fungal-bacterial communities colonizing plant roots;
• 1 postdoctoral position in the group of Ruben Garrido-Oter to develop computational
  approaches for the analysis of synthetic community sequencing data

背景和目标Background/Objectives

微生物组在植物中的重要性自己看。

主要研究方法是当前最先进的还原法：即建立植物微生物培养菌库，和人工重组微生物组验证自然条件下植物免疫对微生物组形成的影响，同时结合计算和基因组工具分析验证假设。

In nature, the roots and leaves of healthy plants are intimately associated with diverse microbes,
including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, viruses and protists, collectively called the plant microbiota.
Research in the department is aimed at understanding how plants influence the assembly and
function of the plant microbiota, how these microbes interact with each other and at elucidating
the impact of these microbial communities on plant physiology. The successful candidates will
conduct research within the scope of a DFG-funded Germany-wide Priority Programme (SPP
2125 ‘DECRyPT’). Twenty-five different laboratories are joining forces to generate fundamental
insights into the molecular mechanisms that govern plant microbiota establishment and
function. The successful candidates will apply pioneering reductionist approaches, involving
establishment of plant microbe culture collections and reconstitution experiments to test the
impact of different microbial communities in nature and the role of plant immunity in
influencing microbiota establishment and function. Computational and genomic tools will be
applied to plant microbiota data to guide hypothesis testing and the design of microbiota
reconstitution experiments.

要求Requirements

要求理学硕士学位，遗传学、分子生物学、微生物学或生物信息学背景。植物科学背景不是必要条件，但申请人要有对植物微生物互作领域强烈的兴趣。

We seek highly motivated applicants with an MSc degree (or equivalent) in genetics/molecular
biology/microbiology or bioinformatics. A background in plant science is not essential, but
candidates will be expected to demonstrate their strong interest in the field of plant-microbe
interactions.

你能得到什么What we offer

• 获得各种微生物组研究的技能培训
• 享受马普研究生待遇
• 科研写作与交流的专项训练

Successful candidates will take part in annual meetings and workshops organized by the Priority
Programme where they can network with the other programme members and receive training in
different aspects of plant microbiota research. In addition, the PhD students will enjoy all the
benefits of the MPIPZ Graduate School, including structured supervision and training in soft and
hard skills. Members of the Plant Microbe Interactions department also receive in-house training
in scientific writing and communication.

工资与职位Payment/Position

职位现在即可申请，入学、入职时间为2019年初。项目资助申请者3年的工资和福利待遇。

The positions are available immediately and successful candidates would be expected to start at
approximately the beginning of 2019. Funding is provided for an initial period of three years,
and salary and benefits are commensurate with public service organization rules (TVöD) – 65%
and 100% of E13 for the PhD and postdoctoral positions, respectively. The Max-Planck Society is
committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and
therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck
Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented
and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
