Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Associate position in the group of Dr 
Sebastian Schornack at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge University (SLCU), to develop tools for 
manipulation of early descendant land plants.

The position is part of the OpenPlant (http://openplant.org/) project. OpenPlant is a BBSRC-EPSRC 
funded Synthetic Biology Research Centre. It is based in the United Kingdom and is a collaboration 
between the University of Cambridge, the John Innes Centre and The Sainsbury Laboratory Norwich. The 
successful candidate will benefit from engagement with laboratories in all partner organisations.

The successful candidate will develop new molecular biological and genetic resources (in particular 
TAL effector activators and repressors) to modulate gene expression in early descendant plants (e.g. 
Liverworts/hornworts) or to achieve genome editing (TALENs). Main model organisms will be the 
Agrobacterium-transformable liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and related species.
