About this position

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.

The selected researcher will contribute to a project focused on plant physiology and the evaluation of innovative biostimulant formulations. The research investigates treatments based on beneficial microbial consortia, nanoparticles, and bioactive compounds to understand how they affect plant growth, development, and physiological responses. The role includes planning and carrying out controlled experiments, analysing seed germination and vigour, and characterising plants through morpho-physiological phenotyping.

A central part of the activity is the assessment of the efficacy of these formulations in improving plant performance under challenging conditions. The project specifically examines how treated plants respond to biotic and abiotic stress by monitoring growth, photosynthetic, and physiological parameters. The overall aim is to identify the most effective formulations for increasing fitness, productivity, and resilience in agricultural crops.

The position is embedded in the research environment of the CNR institute dedicated to sustainable plant protection, with a topic that combines experimental plant science, stress physiology, and applied innovation for agriculture.
