Fully Funded PhD in Plant-Soil-Microbe Interactions for Sustainable Cannabis Production University of Wisconsin-Madison in United States

Two funded Ph.D. positions are open at Boston University in the Templer Lab and Bhatnagar Lab (Microbes@BU) as part of an NSF-funded study within the long-running Hubbard Brook Nitrogen Oligotrophication (HBNO) project. The research sits at the intersection of forest ecology , biogeochemistry , plant-microbe interactions , soil science , and microbiology . The project asks whether shifts in plant carbon allocation help offset declining nitrogen and phosphorus availability in northern hardwood fo...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant-Soil Interactions and Coastal Biogeochemistry within the Environmental Sciences Division. The project is part of the interdisciplinary Exploring Gulf Region Ecosystem Transitions (EGRET) collaboration, which studies disturbance-driven ecosystem transitions across the U.S. Gulf Coast using field observations, laboratory mesocosms, AI/ML, remote sensing, process-based modeling, and advanced analytical tec...
