PhD student in plant evolution Uppsala University in Sweden

Uppsala University is seeking a PhD student in plant evolution to join the Plant Ecology and Evolution program in the Department of Ecology and Genetics. The department is part of the Evolutionary Biology Center, an international research environment focused on fundamental and applied biological questions through an evolutionary perspective. The project, Convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers , investigates how similar floral traits have evolved independently across plant lineages polli...

Trees For Me is seeking a PhD student in forest genetics to join a research environment based at Skogforsk, in collaboration with the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). The doctoral project will investigate how flowering and seed production can improve silver birch breeding . By examining these reproductive processes, the research aims to support the development of more productive and resilient birch forests and contribute to sustain...

Postdoctoral researcher in population genomics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, based in the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology and connected to the Soil Microbiology Group. The project focuses on rye adaptation across contrasting environments, using population genomics to investigate how landrace, wild, weedy and elite rye populations differ genetically and how their associated microbiota may contribute to adaptation. The successful candidate w...

This PhD project at Skogforsk focuses on the genetics and reproductive development of silver birch , with the aim of improving flowering and seed production for birch breeding. The student will investigate how environmental conditions and cultivation treatments influence flowering in young plants and older breeding material, with particular attention to light conditions, plant development and genetic differences in flowering responses. The work connects fundamental questions about reproductive b...

Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is advertising a postdoctoral researcher position in aerosol emissions from streams at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management in Umeå, Sweden . The project sits at the interface of atmospheric sciences , aquatic sciences , physics , and environmental engineering . The successful candidate will investigate whether and how streams emit aerosols to the atmosphere, with a focus on air–water exchange processes, bubble bursting, ice-nucleating...
