Research Contract in Applied Microbiology and Beneficial Plant-Associated Microorganisms Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in Italy

PhD research internship opportunity at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in collaboration with AgBS and AGC . The project focuses on the characterization and inoculation of rhizosheath bacteria , with a strong research emphasis on plant-microbe interactions , soil microbiology , and microbial inoculation . This opportunity is aimed at PhD researchers who are interested in microbiology and plant-associated microbial systems. The post does not mention funding details or a deadline, but it ...

This fully funded PhD will investigate how to design plant root microbiomes that support more productive agriculture with fewer chemical inputs and pesticides. The project will examine the chemical rules governing interactions among soil microbes. These insights will then be used to design synthetic microbial communities that are stable, functional, and able to support plant health. The intended outcome is a new generation of reliable biofertilizers, addressing the limitations of products develo...

The MOCLab at Università di Padova is seeking two PhD candidates for AGRIPOLYS , a European MSCA Doctoral Network focused on polymers designed for agriculture. This opportunity sits at the intersection of polymer chemistry , biotechnology , materials science , agriculture , and sustainability . The two advertised PhD projects are: 1) Biodegradable polymers for beneficial microorganism survival and soil health . 2) Precision macromolecular carriers for targeted nucleic acid delivery in plants. Th...

The Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), through the Istituto per la Protezione Sostenibile delle Piante in Portici, offers one research contract within the STEP NanoBio-FARM project. The work sits in the scientific area of abiotic and biotic stresses linked to climate change and is coordinated by Dott.ssa Maurilia Maria Monti .
