Research Scientist in Insect-Microbe Interactions
2 weeks ago
We invite applications for a fully funded PhD position in the Insect-Microbe Interactions research group at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The project focuses on investigating the mechanisms and consequences of microbial-induced resistance (MIR) on trophic interactions and biocontrol efficacy. The PhD student will examine the interactive effects of MIR on aphid populations feeding on sweet pepper plants inoculated with root-colonizing fungi.
The PhD fellow will be supervised by Associate Professor Nicolai V. Meyling and will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The PhD fellow will spend approximately 6 months at the Alnarp campus during the 3-year period.
Required qualifications include a degree in entomology, plant science, microbiology, chemical ecology, community ecology, DNA/RNA-based molecular techniques, or a related field. The successful PhD student will gain expertise in ecological interactions, molecular techniques, and analytical methods of chemical ecology and experimental manipulations of plants, insects, and fungi.
Key responsibilities include conducting independent research, completing PhD coursework, participating in international research environments, teaching, writing scientific papers, and defending a PhD thesis.
