About this position
PhD opening at the University of Guelph in the Dry Bean Breeding & Computational Biology program, Department of Plant Agriculture (Ontario Agricultural College), with Dr. Mohsen Yoosefzadeh Najafabadi.
The project focuses on integrating genomics, phenomics, and AI to improve disease resistance in adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) against soybean cyst nematode and bacterial blights.
Research activities include a mix of field, greenhouse, lab, and computational work, including drone and spectral imaging, genotyping-by-sequencing, GWAS, candidate marker discovery, and AI-assisted disease prediction.
The student will also contribute to the breeding pipeline, field trials, and knowledge-mobilization materials for growers and industry partners.
Applicants should have a Master's degree in plant breeding, genetics, plant science, molecular biology, bioinformatics, data science, plant pathology, or a related field. Experience with R/Python, image analysis, GIS, or sequencing data is a strong asset.
Location: Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
