I would like to inform you that the Marie Curie COFUND call for postdoctoral researchers within the Talent4RuralScience project is now officially open. This COFUND programme includes several postdoctoral positions hosted at the Universidad de Extremadura (UEx).

In particular, one of the challenges addressed in the call is Challenge 1: Sustainable Development and Natural Resource Management, specifically: Research Topic 1.3: Sustainable Valorisation of Agri-Food Plant By-Products for Novel Ingredients and Functional Food Design.

This topic is closely aligned with the research lines of the University Institute for Agricultural Resources Research at the UEx (INURAhttps://www.iuinura.es/). Specifically, it focuses on agri-food by-product valorisation, bioactive compounds, green extraction technologies, functional ingredients and foods, prebiotics, and probiotics.

All information regarding the call, eligibility criteria, and application process is available on the project website: www.talent4ruralscience.eu  (see Call for Researchers). The call is open until 31 March 2026 and is currently being disseminated through the official European Commission portal EURAXESS: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/405534

PhD position (f/m/d) in Plant Development & Cell Biology

Our team aims to decipher the processes underlying plant protective barrier formation, with the goal
of engineering plants that are more resilient to challenging environmental conditions. We are
particularly interested in the periderm formation, the barrier that protects the plant vasculature from
the environment, as plant organs increase in girth. The periderm is a dynamic, multilayer barrier
composed of the cork cambium stem cell niche and its derivatives, cork and phelloderm. Cork
differentiation is marked by suberin and lignin deposition in cork cell walls, and plants lacking these
polymers are more susceptible to drought, heat, and salinity.
The establishment a root barrier is such a critical event that plants have evolved a surveillance system
to monitor barrier integrity and, in case of failure, activate compensatory mechanisms (such as ectopic
suberin and lignin deposition) to seal the root. The aim of this project is to understand the molecular
mechanisms of the cork integrity surveillance system and how lignin is deposited in cork cells in a
polar manner by employing advanced confocal microscopy, tissue-specific manipulation of signalling
hubs, genetic, and transcriptomic approaches.
For more info on the research topic: see Wunderling et al. 2018, Xiao et al. 2020, Andersen et al. 2021,
Serra et al. 2022, Molina et al 2025, Xiao et al 2025 and Ragni Team Website.
What we are looking for:
-A curious, highly motivated person with a passion for science
-Expert in plant molecular biology (M. Sc. in plant molecular biology, biochemistry or similar)
-Team player, goal-oriented, independent thinker
-Very good oral and written English
-Prior experience in confocal microscopy, image analysis (R, Python) or NGS data analysis is
a plus
What we are offering:
-A 3-year DFG-funded PhD position
-International, vibrant, friendly working environment Plant Community (> 8 plant science
groups)
-State-of-the-art research infrastructure
-Additional training and soft skill/personal development via GRACE.
The application deadline is the 15th of April 2026
Please send your application as a single PDF (motivation letter, CV, and contact details of three
referees) directly to Prof. Laura Ragni (laura.ragni@biologie.uni-freiburg.de)
