ABOUT CRAG:
RESPONSIBILITIES:
CRAG is looking for a Postdoctoral researcher to work on the topic of “The plant peptidome: a new layer on plant regulatory mechanisms”. We seek to incorporate a highly talented and motivated scientist that is interested in modern, multidisciplinary plant sciences, encompassing experimental and bioinformatic approaches.

Peptides play multiple roles in plants, controlling development and growth or affecting stress responses. However, the genome-wide coding potential of short open reading frames in eukaryotes has been underestimated and overlooked until recently, and the plant peptidome is still largely uncharacterized. We are interested in defining the plant peptidome (sORFs and hidden coding sequences in plant genomes) and in the identification of novel peptides potentially involved in developmental and stress processes, using Arabidopsis and pea as our experimental systems, to eventually develop peptides as a tool for sustainable agriculture.

The tasks are included within the framework of the research project PID2022-139578NB-I00

For more information about the research group (Principal investigator: Dr. José Luis Riechmann):
**REQUIREMENTS**:
Educational requirements: PhD in Biology, Biochemistry or similar.

Skills: Strong molecular biology research skills. Data analysis and bioinformatics skills will be very positively considered. Applicants with experience in plant genetics and molecular biology (in Arabidopsis or other plant species) and genomics and proteomics are especially encouraged to apply. Strong skills in communication, organization, and interpersonal relations. English language skills are essential, but knowledge of Spanish is not a requirement.

Experience: At least 4 years of experience in topics related to the research project and/or in the indicated required skills.

WORKING CONDITIONS:
Contract Duration: 12 months, renewable

Hours/week: full time

SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS:

- Curriculum vitae, including the contact information for three references.
- PhD Certificate or official notification of the award.
- Motivation letter, including a brief summary of work experience and achievements, and a statement of research interests and career goals (2 pages maximum).

Deadline: Until filled

Start date: As soon as possible, and no later than July 2024.

**Deadline**: May 5, 2024
**Job category**: Postdoc
**Area**: Life Sciences
