研究主題: 
麩胺酸與麩醯胺酸如何調控植物的生長與防禦
研究內容: 
本實驗室以分子遺傳的研究方法，探討植物對胺基酸（麩胺酸與麩醯胺酸
）的感應與訊息傳導。我們發現麩胺酸與麩醯胺酸除了是植物生長所必需的營
養成分，也可以促進植物的防禦反應，歡迎具有獨立研究能力的博士後研究人
員加入我們的行列，一起探索植物胺基酸的新功能。
所有博士後參與研發的主題與材料，以及實驗室其它的研究課題，在該博
士後獲得教職或成為獨立的研究人員之後，都可以帶走，在下階段的職涯繼續
研究。

資格: 
1. 生物相關科系博士。
2. 具分子生物相關技術及分子遺傳研究相關經驗者。

The lab of Ka Wai Ma is inviting application working on plant-
microbiota research. The lab is using different model systems and the
associated culture collection to understand the principles governing
plant-microbiota homeostasis. The lab routinely uses omics
techniques including amplicon sequencing, transcriptomics and
reconstitution system. The lab is currently looking for a motivated
candidate to work on a CRISPR editing project. The project aims to
use CRISPR technology to perform gene editing on crops with
subsequent phenotyping.
The position is opened until filled

The lab is using moss (Physcomitrium patens) as a model to
investigate various developmental biology-related questions
in plants. The lab routinely employs techniques such as
genetic manipulations, protein expression/purification, and
confocal microscopy observation. We encourage those
interested in plant biology to be part of the team.
