Research Associate, Plant Biochemistry | Research associate Plant Biochemistry

Job Summary

This part-time, fixed-term Research Associate position focuses on fundamental processes in chloroplast differentiation and development, specifically protein import and its impact on chloroplast biogenesis and photosynthetic performance. The successful candidate will conduct functional characterization of novel protein import system components, perform quantitative analysis of protein accumulation and post-translational modifications using mass spectrometry, and biochemically characterize protein functions. Key responsibilities also include the characterization and generation of mutant lines in Arabidopsis. The role requires a strong background in Biology or Biochemistry, practical experience with various biochemical and molecular biology techniques, and a keen interest in plant-based research. This is an excellent opportunity for a professional to contribute to cutting-edge research in plant biochemistry.
