The Department conducts research in the field of plant’s ecophysiology, physiology, biochemistry and biotechnology, at all levels of their organization (physiological, cytological, biochemical tests, molecular biology of plants). We conduct adequate academic classes in 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree studies in the following fields: Biology, Biotechnology, Biomonitoring and ecological biotechnologies and also EcoCity (sustainable urban development).

The candidate should meet the following criteria and have:

- doctoral diploma in biological or related sciences recognized in Poland (or a relevant certificate of awarding a doctoral degree);

- documented scientific achievements in the field of plant biology, in the form of publications in recognized international journals; at least 300 MEiN points for publications ≥ 100 MEiN points., including in at least one publication ≥ 100 MEiN points as the first author and/or corresponding author;

- willingness to participate in research on the regulation of plant growth and development, resistance and adaptation to stress conditions, carried out at various levels of organization with the use of modern methods of experimental biology. Ability to use the techniques listed below will be an advantages:

-tissue and cell culture techniques (in vitro cultures);

-techniques in the field of plant cytology, histology and histochemistry;

-biochemical methods for plant material analysis, including: stress markers, enzymatic tests, HPLC analyzes;

-skills in molecular biology techniques: isolation and purification of DNA, RNA, proteins; separation of these materials with electrophoretic methods (IEF, SDS-PAGE, 2-D), Western blot technique, proteomic analysis, PCR, RT-PCR – performance and optimization;

- good command of spoken and written English;

- experience in the implementation of national and/or international projects and a documented scientific internship abroad will be an advantage;

- due to the didactic obligation, the Candidate is expected to have basic knowledge in the area of: physiology, biochemistry and plant biotechnology, as well as readiness to conduct laboratory classes and supervise diploma theses; an advantage will be the ability to conduct classes in English;

- due to the teaching and administrative duties at the Department, a foreign Candidate must be fluent in Polish, both in writing and in speech;

- the ability to write scientific texts in the field of biology, fluent knowledge of both typical office software and programs useful for biological material imaging and documentation, and statistical analysis.

The Candidate is expected to be professional, committed, creative, and able to work in a team.
