🚨Job Alert – Please RT! We’re looking for bright minds to join our community! We are looking for 12 postdocs and 7 PhD students! Details on all projects and application: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-... @leibnizipk.bsky.social @mpipz.bsky.social @hhu.de @fz-juelich.de @unicologne.bsky.social

Out now in Annual Review of Plant Biology! 🌱 Together with colleagues from our DFG-funded CRC on “Plant Phenotypic Plasticity” (@unipotsdam.bsky.social), we outline the mechanistic & evolutionary backbone of plant plasticity. 🔗 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... @crc1644.bsky.social @dfg.de

CEPLAS, the cluster of excellence on plants sciences, is looking for PhD candidates for a number of exciting projects. See below for more info on the topics and on the recruiting process, and here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...

CEPLAS starts a number of new projects, and we are looking for 12 Postdocs ❗ CEPLAS projects are always highly collaborative, that means postdocs working with us will always closely interact with several CEPLAS research groups. Find all postdoc openings here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...

Super excited about this collaboration with @plantophagy.bsky.social ! We are looking for someone passionate about understanding the cause & consequence relationship between autophagy and regeneration across kingdoms of life. Heidelberg is a great place for science and for living. Come join us!!!

Pls RT‼️ @hanhtkvu.bsky.social lab @embl.org & we @cosheidelberg.bsky.social are looking for a #postdoc to study #regeneration x #autophagy across kingdoms of life. www.health-life-sciences.de/opportunitie... Pls spread the word & get in touch if you are interested.

Our First preprint 🌱 about a new Component of the Autophagic Network identified in Pi-deprived root tips is online ❣️ All I wished for Valentine's day 😀 #proudPI#autophagy#rootPiSensing#plantproteolysis

Beautiful #preprint on a novel regulator of plant #autophagy from the @cnaumann123.bsky.social lab. How do plants regulate #autophagosome size??? ER-PM contact sites and Can1 seem to be key! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Dear Plant ECRs, don't miss this wonderful opportunity!

We are looking far and wide for this position! So if you are motivated, interested in academia, and want to explore the world of plant-virus interaction, we are ALSO happy to host you for a PhD! More detail below🔽☘️🦠

The Clavel Group is recruiting a new postdoc for two possible projects dealing with plant-virus interactions and selective autophagy! More (wordy) details below ⬇️🌱🦠

@mbcapitao.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD today. Congratulations!

Are you interested in using synthetic approaches to promote arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis? Then our PostDoc position may be for you: jobs.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/jobposting/b...

Inaugural lecture to the faculty of Yasin Dagdas (@plantophagy.bsky.social) and Simon Wiegert (@simwieg.bsky.social) - bridging green and red biology.

Preprint alert! It is my great pleasure to announce the first manuscript from the lab, a story that started @gmivienna.bsky.social and was mainly accomplished by the intrepid @gesahoffmann.bsky.social at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social. A brief thread with our findings www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
