Den här postdoktorstjänsten vid Institutionen för skogens ekologi och skötsel vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Umeå fokuserar på hur organiskt kväve i växter styrs om från ren tillväxtmetabolism till signalering som påverkar utveckling och stresstolerans. Projektet undersöker kopplingarna mellan metabolism av organiskt kväve, metabolisk reglering och nedströms signalkaskader, samt hur dessa processer hänger samman med växters svar på både abiotisk och biotisk stress. Arbetet kombinerar ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee / James Hutton Institute in plant science, focusing on how plants respond to warming temperatures and how temperature controls stomata development. The project, “EASTBIO - How Plants Breathe in a Warming World: Temperature Control of Stomata Development,” is based in Dundee, United Kingdom, and is supervised by Dr Martin Balcerowicz and Dr Sarah McKim. It investigates thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana and explores whether similar hormonal reg...

The PhD project is based at the Department of Biosystems and Technology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and is part of the Biogas Solutions Research Center . The research focuses on how digestate residues from biogas production can be used safely and effectively in sustainable horticultural production. The project examines digestate as a circular resource that can return nutrients and organic material to cultivation. A central theme is the use of the fiber fraction as a compon...

About this position

This postdoctoral project at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), focuses on how organic nitrogen metabolism is redirected into signalling pathways that influence plant development and stress tolerance.

The successful candidate will investigate links between organic nitrogen metabolism, metabolic regulation and downstream signalling cascades in plants facing abiotic and biotic challenges, including pathogen attack. The project combines physiological, biochemical, molecular and advanced imaging approaches and uses both Arabidopsis thaliana and crop species in sterile, hydroponic and soil-based systems.

Work in the project includes controlled plant growth experiments, chemical and genetic perturbation of nitrogen metabolism, gene expression and metabolite analyses, and microscopy-based studies such as confocal and two-photon imaging. The researcher will also develop and run stress- and infection-mimicking bioassays, including nematode assays, and analyse results for publication in international journals.

The position is based in the research group led by Professor Torgny Näsholm, whose work centres on plant nitrogen nutrition and the acquisition and utilization of organic nitrogen. Day-to-day supervision will be provided by Dr Ioanna Antoniadi-Nilsson. The group is located in Umeå, a highly collaborative centre for plant science with modern facilities for plant growth, imaging and analytics.

The appointment offers an opportunity to develop an independent scientific profile, contribute to the group’s collaborations, gain supervision experience, and build an international research network.

What's required

PhD in plant biology, plant physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry or a closely related discipline is required. Applicants should have documented experience with experimental plant research, experimental design and data analysis, documented scientific publishing in international peer-reviewed journals, and the ability to plan, execute and document experiments independently. Very good written and spoken English is required. Experience with gene expression analysis, in vitro sterile culture, Arabidopsis thaliana and crop species, two-photon or advanced confocal microscopy, hydroponic cultivation, soil-based treatments, mass spectrometry, phytopathology, plant–pathogen interactions, and bioassay development, especially nematode culture and infection assays, is considered advantageous. The postdoctoral appointment is intended for junior researchers, and candidates are preferably within three years of their doctoral degree unless special circumstances apply.

How to apply

Submit the application online through the provided link before the deadline. Prepare the application in English and include a cover letter, CV with publication list, copies of relevant degree certificates, and contact details for two or three referees.
