Join us!
We are always looking for motivated Bachelor, Master students and see some opportunities below.to join our group.
PhD and Postdoctoral fellows, if you have ideas you would like to pursue that fit the lab theme, see details below and contact us!
Bachelor projects and internships
You will work on characterizing model plants systems of the lab to study the abiotic stress adaptation of plants to different environmental stresses. This will include building plant phenotyping set-ups for micro and macro imaging, molecular cloning, PCR and qPCR, fluorescence imaging, plant growth and stress phenotyping. These small projects are worth 6 credits.
Intership projects will be part of the main research areas of the lab and will be discussed and agreed on an individual basis.
Please fill this form if interested: Bachelor projects and internships.
International students, please also check here for more information.
Masters project
These projects are full-time and will be your thesis work in order to obtain a M.Sc. degree.
Highly motivated students with excitement for plant developmental biology, physiology, imaging as well as bioinformatics, are very welcome to apply. Our current topics include stress adaptation of plants, imaging stress responses at different scales: nano to macro and understanding the role of physiology in stress adaptation.
Please fill this form if interested: Master projects.
International students, please also check here for more information.
PhD positions
For PhD students, direct enquiries are appreciated. Please get in touch at priya.ramakrishna (at) epfl.ch.
Postdoctoral Fellowships
If you are excited about exploring novel ideas and approaches to understand plant adaptation to environmental stresses, the physiology of plants, systems-level mechanisms of tolerance to salinity and nutritional stress, please get in touch by sending your CV, a brief motivation letter, and a research statement.
I am also happy to support strong candidates interested in applying for competitive postdoctoral fellowships to join our group. Some opportunities include:
Human Frontier Science Program
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
