Post-Doctoral Research Assistant/Associate: Join the Kromdijk lab at the Department of Plant Sciences to conduct post-doctoral research focused on chilling tolerance in maize, a globally significant crop. The research will aim to address the issue of chilling-induced photoinhibition in maize grown in temperate regions and explore the differential responses of mesophyll and bundle sheath cells to chilling stress.
Post-Doctoral Research Assistant/Associate – Chilling Tolerance in Maize
Designation: Post-Doctoral Research Assistant/Associate
Research Area: Chilling Tolerance in Maize
Location: Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge
* PhD in Plant Sciences, Genetics, Molecular Biology, or related fields
* Strong background in transcriptome analysis and plant stress response research
* Experience with maize research and C4 photosynthesis would be advantageous
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative research team
Job Description:
The post-doctoral researcher will contribute to the characterization of transcriptome responses to chilling stress, specifically in mesophyll and bundle sheath cells of maize. This will involve the use of novel transgenic maize lines carrying TRAPseq and INTACT constructs to probe transcriptomes from these two cell types, as well as conducting controlled chilling experiments. The research is part of the Action Research on Research Culture project (ARRC).

Data preferences
You can choose how your personal data is used. Vendors want your permission to do the following:
Store and/or access information on a device
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Create profiles for personalised advertising
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Ensure security, prevent and detect fraud, and fix errors
Your data can be used to monitor for and prevent unusual and possibly fraudulent activity (for example, regarding advertising, ad clicks by bots), and ensure systems and processes work properly and securely. It can also be used to correct any problems you, the publisher or the advertiser may encounter in the delivery of content and ads and in your interaction with them.
Deliver and present advertising and content
Certain information (like an IP address or device capabilities) is used to ensure the technical compatibility of the content or advertising, and to facilitate the transmission of the content or ad to your device.
The choices you make regarding the purposes and entities listed in this notice are saved and made available to those entities in the form of digital signals (such as a string of characters). This is necessary in order to enable both this service and those entities to respect such choices.
Match and combine data from other data sources
Information about your activity on this service may be matched and combined with other information relating to you and originating from various sources (for instance your activity on a separate online service, your use of a loyalty card in-store, or your answers to a survey), in support of the purposes explained in this notice.
In support of the purposes explained in this notice, your device might be considered as likely linked to other devices that belong to you or your household (for instance because you are logged in to the same service on both your phone and your computer, or because you may use the same Internet connection on both devices).
Vendors can use your data to provide services. Declining a vendor can stop them from using the data you shared.
