We are seeking engaged and highly qualified graduate students to join the Isoprenoid Pathway project (Dr. Eva Vranova) in the Plant Biotechnology Group (Prof. Wilhelm Gruissem) at the ETH Zürich.
The successful candidate will study function of isozymes at the metabolic branchpoint in the isopreniod pathway using Arabidopsis as a model plant together with genetic dissection, functional genomics approaches and metabolite analysis. The project is part of the larger initiative in our laboratory that aims to understand cellular network of isoprenoid biosynthesis.
We offer training in the young, dynamic and highly qualified international research team and access to the up to date research facilities.
