Postdoctoral Position in Fungal Cell Biology or Biochemistry / Structural Biology of Starship Transposons

Study how giant Starship transposons mobilize and carry virulence genes in plant-pathogenic fungi. The project offers either a cell-biology track investigating transposon movement in living fungal cells or a biochemical and structural track reconstituting and characterizing the responsible proteins. The postdoc collaborates with a complementary genomics researcher and contributes mechanistic experiments, publications and development of an independent research profile. Review begins 31 October 2026 and continues until a suitable candidate is found.

Relevant doctorate and experience in fungal cell biology or biochemistry and structural biology.
