Ph.D. Positions: Studying the biochemical basis of vesicle trafficking in plants. Applications are invited for Ph.D. positions available in the group of Prof. Palme (Albert-Lüdwigs University, Freiburg, Germany) to study the biochemical basis of vesicle trafficking in plants. Plant cell polarity and transport of the plant hormone auxin are closely connected; vesicle cycling between the plasma membrane and endosomes is crucial to both. We aim to understand the mechanisms of PIN-dependent auxin transport (Science (1998) 282, p.2226, Nature (2005) 433, p.39, Science (2004) 306, p.862, Cell (2002) 108, p.661) and its role in the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity. Successful candidates will use a wide variety of techniques including free-flow electrophoresis and affinity chromatography to identify and characterize protein complexes involved in polar auxin transport. The positions are available in an English-speaking, international group situated near the centre of Freiburg, one...
