PhD position in epialleles, epigenetics and heritable variation in plants Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in Netherlands

PhD position at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) / Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in the Netherlands on epialleles, epigenetics, DNA methylation, gene expression, and heritable variation in plants . This project addresses a key question in plant adaptation: how much heritable trait variation is driven by epigenetic mechanisms rather than genetic differences. Using an apomictic dandelion lineage as a model system, the PhD researcher will study a geographical...

Open postdoc position in the group of Luis E. Escobar at Virginia Tech. The research focus is bioinformatics and ecoinformatics, making this a strong fit for candidates interested in computational biology, ecological data analysis, and interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology, computer science, environmental science, and statistics. The post explicitly states that the position is in the announcer’s own group, so this is an academic-led opening. Virginia Tech is the host institution...

PhD opportunity at Wetsus / Leiden University in AI-driven soil insight and precision management using weed indicators . This project sits at the intersection of agriculture , environmental science , biology , computer science , and statistics . The research explores how weed plant communities can act as practical bio-indicators of soil status in agricultural fields. By combining proximal sensing , field spectroscopy , GIS , plant trait analysis, soil measurements, and microbiome data, the proje...
