          group of Antia Rodriguez-Villalon at ETH-Zurich (Switzerland)
          is recruiting one
          postdoctoral researcher in the frame of a project addressed to
          investigate the
          molecular mechanisms regulating phloem formation in <i
            class="">Arabidopsis thaliana</i> roots. To become
          conductive elements, phloem
          cells undergo a programmed cell death-like process by which
          they get rid of the
          majority of their organelles, including their nucleus. Yet,
          the genes
          responsible for the orchestration of such complex process
          remain unclear.
          Recent findings have demonstrated the importance of
          phosphoinositides-a group
          of membrane signaling compounds- in controlling such process.
          Thus, the
          selected postdoc candidate will investigate phosphoinositide
          down-stream
          targets regulating phloem formation by taking advantage of
          genetic and molecular
          tools already generated in the lab.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
