PhD in Characterization of Boreal Soil Proteins and Soil Nitrogen Turnover Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden

PhD position at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umeå on the characterization of boreal soil proteins and their role in nitrogen turnover . The project is led by Sandra Jämtgård (Associate Professor, Department of Forest Ecology and Management) in collaboration with Maja Sundquist and Jonatan Klaminder , and includes close work with the Umeå Proteomics Platform . The research sits at the intersection of biology , environmental science , biochemistry , and proteomics , wit...

The Department of Forest Ecology and Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) invites applications for a PhD position focused on soil protein composition and nitrogen cycling in boreal forests. Nitrogen availability is a major constraint on plant growth and carbon sequestration in these ecosystems, and proteins constitute a significant fraction of the soil nitrogen pool. However, the processes governing their breakdown into amino acids and their role in nitrogen cyclin...

RCTT Research Academy shares a PhD opportunity in France with CIRAD and INRAE as part of the BANA+ project . The doctoral thesis focuses on the mechanisms of post-harvest browning in bananas . The research approach combines physiology , biochemistry , and molecular biology to better understand the trait and support the development of more efficient banana varieties adapted to agroecological systems . This project is relevant for students interested in biology , agriculture , fruit quality , and ...

PhD opportunity at Curtin University in hidden fungicide pools in barley , focused on how fungicides are metabolised inside plants and converted into conjugated “hidden” residue forms that may affect persistence, efficacy, and resistance selection. The project is hosted by the Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. It sits at the intersection of plant science , crop protection , molecular biology , biochemistry , and advanced analytical ch...

PhD opportunity in Plant Physiology at Stockholm University , Sweden, in the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP). The project is titled “Epigenetic Basis of Reproductive Thermotolerance” and focuses on how epigenetic regulation influences reproductive thermotolerance in plants. The successful candidate will use molecular biology approaches to study plant fertility and development under heat stress. Relevant background includes plant physiology , stress biology , plant re...
