Gardener (m/f/d)

The Max Planck Society is one of the leading research organisations in Europe. We offer challenging tasks with a high degree of self-responsibility and design space in research laboratories, workshops, libraries and administration. The Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research conducts basic research on plants with a wide variety of methods, in particular molecular genetics, genomics, imaging methods, comparative biology and biochemistry. Our aim is to deepen and detailed understanding of plant biology in order to improve conventional breeding methods and to develop environmentally sound plant protection strategies for crops. We focus primarily on the evolution of plants, their genetic design, their development and their interactions with the environment and microorganisms. How does the plant immune system react, for example, to plant pests? How does the time of flowering depend on seasonally changing day lengths? How does the genetic variability of crops affect adaptation to certain environmental influences? Plant biologists in the laboratory, on the computer, in the greenhouse or in the natural environment according to the molecular foundations of natural variety of forms and thus provide innovative contributions to plant breeding. In order to illustrate the context of plant research for the general public, the institute maintains a teaching garden with more than 100 different crops and wild forms. We are looking for the next time

a varied and demanding activity in a dedicated team. a remuneration according to qualifications and experience according to the TVöD (Bund). Social benefits according to the public service. The body is first terminated for 2 years, a period of grace is expected for probation. The Max Planck Society is striving to employ more people with difficulty. Applications for severely disabled persons are expressly desired. The Max Planck Society strives for gender equality and diversity. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society aims to increase the proportion of women in the areas in which You are underrepresented. Women are therefore expressly asked to apply. The parental association Little Pumpkins offers support for children under 3 years of age at the MPIPZ. There is the possibility to apply for an inexpensive German Job Ticket with a grant from the Institute. The institute also has a rental bike station and the possibility to use rental scooters from various providers.
