The University of Hohenheim is offering two PhD scientist positions in the collaborative KörnLe project , based in the departments of phytopathology and plant product quality in Stuttgart-Hohenheim, Germany. The project investigates plant health risks associated with cultivating chickpeas, lentils and dry beans. Research will address fungal, oomycetic and bacterial pathogens, crop rotation effects, biological control approaches, seed health and the quality of harvested legumes. The work is condu...

PhD position in the OptiNuss research project at the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Institute for Biological Control, in Germany. OptiNuss investigates sustainable peanut cultivation under German conditions. The project includes comprehensive field trials at different locations in southern Germany, comparing and optimising cultivation methods for peanut production. At JKI, the PhD researcher will contribute to the phytopathological, microbiological and biodiversity-related components of the project...

This research opportunity with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) in Ithaca, New York, focuses on the use of entomopathogenic fungi and microbial communities as biocontrol agents against plant-damaging invertebrate pests. The project centers on understanding how fungi, bacteria, and their microbial metabolites and toxins can suppress pests such as the invasive emerald ash borer and economically important soybean and potato cyst nematodes. The selected pa...

A fully funded PhD opportunity is available at the University of Exeter in the UK, focused on plant pathology and climate change. The thesis, “Tackling the threat of wheat disease in a changing climate, using epidemiological modelling and soil microbiome research on take-all,” will investigate wheat disease dynamics under changing environmental conditions. The project combines epidemiological modelling with soil microbiome research to understand take-all disease and its implications for wheat pr...

The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate at the Everglades Research and Education Center (EREC) in Belle Glade, Florida. The project focuses on disease management and germplasm evaluation in winter vegetable crops, especially celery and lettuce. The primary research area is management of celery early blight caused by Cercospora species. The postdoctoral associate will identify and evaluate locally sourced b...
