<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The successful candidate is expected to build a vibrant, world-class research programme that combines cutting-edge approaches in plant molecular biology,
cell biology, biochemistry, and/or genetics using quantitative approaches to generate new knowledge of fundamental molecular mechanisms in plant model systems. Any areas of molecular plant science will be considered, but applications in the field of environmental
perception, signalling and adaptive developmental responses are specifically encouraged. We are especially interested in candidates who will take advantage of the existing expertise in Plant Biology, in the Department of Biology, and the larger Life Science
Zurich research environment. The successful applicant is also expected to promote translational research activities and engage with strategic initiatives of ETH Zurich.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

campus. The Department offers access to state-of-the-art equipment (e.g. the ScopeM imaging facility and the Functional Genomics Centre) and outstanding scientific opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary research programmes. Integration into existing
networks will facilitate interactions with the local research community (e.g. via the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Centre and the World Food System Centre). The new professor will engage in the plant biology teaching programme at both undergraduate and master
levels (teaching may be in German or English).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
