This PhD position, co-supervised between Université de Picardie Jules Verne (France) and Université de Mons (Belgium), focuses on the role of bats as bioindicators of agricultural pollution and as allies in the regulation of insect pests and pathogen vectors within agroecosystems. The interdisciplinary project integrates functional ecology, environmental DNA/metabarcoding, ecotoxicology, and landscape ecology, leveraging a Franco-Belgian research network that includes academic, health, and agric...

An exciting researcher position is open at the Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement (INRAE) in Bordeaux, France, within the UMR1332 BFP, MéTA team. The role focuses on bridging agroecology and metabolomics, aiming to understand how metabolic diversity supports agroecosystem resilience and plant-environment interactions.

This PhD position at Université Grenoble Alpes focuses on the multiscale hydromechanics of root growth in soils, exploring the complex interactions between plant roots and their surrounding soil environment. The project aims to bridge the gap between biophysics, soil mechanics, and water transfer by developing a unified multiscale and multiphysics modelling framework. The research will be conducted jointly at the 3SR laboratory (Geomechanics group) and the LIPhy laboratory (MC2 group), both loca...
