About this position
The University of Hohenheim is offering two PhD scientist positions in the collaborative KörnLe project, based in the departments of phytopathology and plant product quality in Stuttgart-Hohenheim, Germany.
The project investigates plant health risks associated with cultivating chickpeas, lentils and dry beans. Research will address fungal, oomycetic and bacterial pathogens, crop rotation effects, biological control approaches, seed health and the quality of harvested legumes. The work is conducted in collaboration with the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture and the Agricultural Technology Center.
Depending on the research focus, the doctoral researchers will plan, conduct and evaluate practical surveys together with laboratory, greenhouse and field trials. Activities include diagnosing pathogens and selected host plant-pathogen interactions, testing biological antagonists and alternative seed treatments, and analytically examining valuable and antinutritional components in harvested crops. Researchers will also document project results, support quality assurance and statistical evaluation, and contribute to scientific publications, project reports and knowledge transfer.
The positions are embedded in the University of Hohenheim’s agricultural and natural sciences environment, with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and interaction with agricultural practice on a green campus in Stuttgart-Hohenheim.
