PhD Position: Plant Reproductive Genetics and Genome Engineering at Radboud University

This PhD project at Radboud University (Faculty of Science, Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences, Plant & Animal Biology) focuses on plant reproductive genetics, genomics, genome engineering, and crop biotechnology. The project asks how plants reproduce, form clonal seeds, and persist across generations, with the broader goal of developing innovative plant breeding technologies for future agriculture.

You will combine laboratory experiments with computational data analysis and collaborate with international partners on genetic and genomic research. The role is research-focused, with a teaching load of up to 10% of working time.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an MSc in biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or a related field. The post asks for a strong interest in genetics, plant reproduction, molecular biology, and chromosome structure, plus hands-on experience with R or another programming language. Helpful extras include microscopy, molecular biology techniques, plant tissue culture, genomics data analysis, and interest in teaching.

Funding and conditions: this is a paid PhD employment position, starting at €3,059 gross per month and rising to €3,881 in year four, with an initial 1.5-year contract and extension to a 4-year contract after positive evaluation. Benefits include holiday allowance, end-of-year bonus, extra leave days, pension, and other employment conditions.

Application: apply via the online portal by 09 August 2026. Address the letter to Charles Underwood and include the requested documents. The motivation letter should explain your interest in the host lab, and the CV should include your expected GPA for both BSc and MSc.
