PhD position in Soil Physics University of Bayreuth in Germany

PhD opportunity in Soil–Plant Hydraulics and Drought at Forschungszentrum Jülich (IBG-3) in Jülich, Germany . The project focuses on how soil and root hydraulic properties influence plant water uptake and drought responses . It combines mechanistic soil–root–plant modelling with experimental observations from the TERENO SoilCan lysimeter network , including soil water status , evapotranspiration , sap flow , and leaf water potential . This is a 4-year PhD position starting January 2027 . The pos...

This PhD position is part of the RootMucilage project, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), and hosted at Forschungszentrum Jülich in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich, University of Tübingen, and RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau. The project investigates the role of root mucilage in water and phosphorus uptake in semi-arid environments, focusing on emergent plant-scale behaviors and the formation of moist microbial rhizosphere habitats. By contrasting maize g...

Forschungszentrum Jülich is advertising a PhD position in plant science focused on linking above-ground plant function to root dynamics . The project asks how observations above ground can help explain what happens below ground, with a particular focus on photosynthesis , plant growth , and root dynamics . The work is described as interdisciplinary and brings together plant physiologists , engineers , physicists , and computer scientists . Research methods include innovative plant experiments, a...
