About this position
Wageningen University & Research is advertising a postdoctoral researcher position in the Biosystematics Group on plant immune responses against insect egg deposition. The project is part of the NWO Open Technology Programme grant Early Intervention Pest Resistance (EI-RESIST): Understanding and harnessing egg-killing traits for crop resistance breeding, in collaboration with Klaas Bouwmeester, Lotte Caarls, Robin van Velzen, and plant breeding companies.
The postdoc will join an insect-focused team that includes postdoc Peter Karssemeijer, two PhD researchers, and two technicians. Research tasks include characterising plant immune receptor genes, identifying their intra- and interspecific diversity, and investigating downstream immune pathways. The role also includes co-supervision of two PhD students as well as MSc/BSc students.
This opportunity is aimed at early-career postdoctoral researchers with a PhD in Biology or Plant Sciences, ideally with a specialisation in entomology, phytopathology, microbiology, or a related area. Experience with insect/plant-microbe interactions is specifically requested.
The position is physically located in Wageningen, Netherlands. The post does not mention a deadline or salary amount in the text provided. Interested candidates should review the linked vacancy and follow the application instructions there.
