Postdoctoral Research Associate - Bhatia Group (Fixed Term)

A post-doctoral Research Associate position is available in the Bhatia group at the Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University. Successful candidates will conduct fundamental research investigating the mechanistic basis of the function of the plant hormone cytokinin in plant development using Arabidopsis thaliana leaves as model. This will involve extensive time-lapse imaging of developing leaves using confocal microscopy to elucidate how cytokinin controls the spatiotemporal distribution of cellular growth patterns underlying plant organogenesis. They will join a young, growing lab and are expected to bring energy, enthusiasm, and a proactive commitment to both developing research and positive lab culture. The candidate will be working in a stimulating scientific environment with ample opportunities to learn new techniques.
