Open positions

We are open to any international co-operation concerning to our topics.

If you are interested in PhD or Postdoc position in our team, please contact us! You can join one of our topic:

• Localisation of auxin transporters, their interaction with cytoskeleton

• Evolutionary history of auxin signalling and transport, the role of auxin (and other phytohormones) in algae

• Anthers opening regulation and EVO-DEVO study of pistils and sporangia of cryptogamous plants
