Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time
Plant and Environmental Sciences PhD Position

We seek a highly motivated graduate student to join the Insect-Microbe Interactions research group at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The PhD project involves investigating the effects of microbial-induced resistance (MIR) on trophic interactions and biocontrol efficacy. The PhD student will study 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 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.

Applicants should hold 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.

Duties include conducting independent research, completing PhD coursework, participating in international research environments, teaching, writing scientific papers, and defending a PhD thesis.
