Applications are open for a PhD Meiotic Recombination Barley Germany position at the Leibniz-Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben. The project exploits natural genetic variation in meiotic recombination to overcome breeding barriers in barley.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD Biogeochemistry Rare Earth Elements USA position at the University of Kentucky’s Department of Plant and Soil Sciences. The project investigates the mechanisms by which plants take up and process rare earth elements from soil.
Applications are open for a PhD Plant Ecophysiology Crop Mixtures Switzerland position at ETH Zurich’s Grassland Sciences group. The project assesses canopy microclimate, plant traits, and ecosystem services in legume-cereal crop mixtures using stable isotope applications.
Applications are open for a PhD Animals Forest Carbon Cycling Germany position at KIT’s Campus Alpin in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The project investigates how full trophic chains affect carbon and nutrient cycling in natural ecosystems under climate change.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD Soil Microbiomes Ireland position at Teagasc Johnstown Castle, in collaboration with the University of Galway. This PhD will investigate soil microbiomes in pasture-based systems and their role in soil health and grassland productivity, with a focus on nutrient and carbon cycling.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD Agroecological Assessment Sweden position at the Department of Crop Production Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala. The PhD is embedded in the AGRITASC project, funded by the Agroecology Partnership/FORMAS.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD Plant Development Sweden position at the Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology, which is part of the Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC). This PhD project investigates vascular cambium plasticity during secondary growth, focusing on plant responses to fluctuating water availability.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD Arctic Plant Ecology Germany position at Leibniz University Hannover, Institute of Earth System Sciences. This PhD project is part of the research initiative “Nuolja muorji observatory: drivers of Arctic wild berry yield and quality under climate and land-use change”.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD PFAS Environmental Sciences Norway position at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management (MINA), Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). This 3-year PhD position is connected to the project VIRTUE.
Applications are open for a Fully Funded PhD Smart Horticulture Australia position at Western Sydney University (WSU), Hawkesbury campus, where the National Vegetable Protected Cropping Centre and the School of Science are located. This PhD project focuses on improving energy, water, and nutrient efficiencies in high-tech greenhouse systems.
