About this position
Paid PhD position in plant science and root dynamics at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, within the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Plant Sciences (IBG-2) and the PhenoRob research environment.
The project links above-ground plant physiology and phenotyping with below-ground root growth, carbon allocation and plant stress responses. The doctoral researcher will use imaging approaches and field experiments to study how plant function above ground is connected to root development and resource allocation. The work sits at the intersection of quantitative plant biology, plant phenotyping, root science and experimental crop research.
The researcher will join a plant-focused research environment combining controlled imaging-based measurements with experiments under field conditions. This setting supports an integrated understanding of plant performance, root dynamics and responses to environmental stress.
