12-month Post-doc position at the University of Turin (Assegno di ricerca) - Physcomitrium FLV

One post-doc position is available at the plant physiology unit of the University of Turin on the role of Physcomitrium FLV proteins in plant environment interactions with Prof. Stefano D’Alessandro. The contract is for 12 months with the possibility of a short extension. Salary 27000 euro gross, around 1600 euro net per month.

Project:
The goals of this project are twofold: to understand if apocarotenoid signaling is already present in moss and to discover the role of FLV proteins in stress signaling.
