Postdoc in Digital Plant Phenotyping at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The Institute of Plant Sciences, Research Section Biotic Interactions, is recruiting for an 80–100% postdoctoral position in the Plant 3D Reconstruction project. The project combines plant science , computational biology , computer vision , chemical ecology , and statistics . You will work with the Biotic Interactions Group (Prof. Matthias Erb) and the Computer Vision Group (Prof. Paolo Favaro) to grow plants, collect i...

PhD Student Position at the University of Neuchâtel (UNINE), Switzerland , in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics with Prof. Daniel Croll . The project focuses on evolutionary genomics and fungal biology , with research directions including: genomic basis of rapid adaptation to host plants, climate and agrochemicals; tracking transposable element expansion dynamics; causes and consequences of fungal genome plasticity; and recapitulating evolutionary processes using DNA language models / LLMs...

University of Bern, Switzerland, is recruiting a Post Doc in Climate-Resilient Companion Cropping within the Research Section Biotic Interactions (Institute of Plant Sciences) and the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (OCCR). This 100% postdoctoral position sits at the intersection of chemical ecology , community ecology , soil science , crop physiology , and agroecology . The project asks how plant-plant interactions can help crops withstand drought and heat, with an initial focus on ...

PhD project at the University of Oxford on improving pollination services by commercial bumblebees in glasshouses. This DPhil project, hosted in the Department of Biology and supervised by Prof Geraldine Wright, focuses on bee behaviour, pollination efficiency, crop flowering, fruit set, bee welfare, and related ecological and physiological mechanisms in commercial glasshouse systems. The research is highly interdisciplinary and may include field and lab experiments, behaviour monitoring, physio...

Exciting PhD opportunity at Utrecht University in predictive plant–microbiome–pathogen interactions . The project sits at the intersection of plant-microbe interactions , plant pathology , and predictive modeling/approaches, with a focus on understanding how microbial communities shape plant health and disease. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in plant-associated microbiomes and fundamental-to-applied research. Degree level: PhD Research themes: plant microbiome, pathogen interacti...
