 Ph.D. position in algal biotechnology PhD position - 3 years (m/f/d) Algal biotechnology Leipzig University, Faculty of Life Sciences, Institute of Biology, Plant Physiology group of Prof. Severin Sasso, Leipzig, Germany Start: 1 July 2024 Deadline: 7 May 2024 The Plant Physiology group at the Institute of Biology, Leipzig University, offers a Ph.D. position (Promotionsstelle) starting from 1 July 2024, subject to formal funding approval. Activities and responsibilities The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii secretes substantial amounts of glycolate under photorespiratory conditions (Taubert et al., Plant Biotechnol. J. 17, 1538-1546 (2019)). As glycolate is an important industrial chemical, its production in a photosynthetic microorganism opens up the long-term potential to establish a biotechnological industry based on renewable resources. The aim of a new third-party-funded project is to improve glycolate secretion. For this purpose, we want to use physical mutagenesis (e.

  Three PhD Fully Funded Positions in Plant Science at Umeå University in Sweden. A great opportunity to team ecosystem and environmental sciences with supportive and inclusive colleagues in a nice town. Umeå University is one of Sweden’s largest higher education institutions with over 37,000 students and about 4,700 employees. The University offers a diversity of high-quality education and world-leading research in several fields. Notably, the groundbreaking discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was made here. At Umeå University, everything is close. Our cohesive campuses make it easy to meet, work together and exchange knowledge, which promotes a dynamic and open culture. The ongoing societal transformation and large green investments in northern Sweden create enormous opportunities and complex challenges. For Umeå University, conducting research about – and in the middle of – a society in transition is key. We also take pride

Phd Position in Soil Microbiology | Microbes and microplastics in agricultural soils, The University of Bayreuth, Faculty of Biology, Chemistry and Geosciences

 Interested in working on the microbiology of microplastics pollution in soils? Agricultural soils are one of the most important sinks for global microplastics pollution, but soil microorganisms can help to alleviate these problems. The University of Bayreuth, Faculty of Biology, Chemistry and Geosciences, Chair of Ecological Microbiology (Prof. Dr. Tillmann Lueders) is currently offering a: Phd Position in Soil Microbiology (m/f/d), TV-L E 13 (65 %) Microbes and microplastics in agricultural soils  The position is available from July 1st, 2023, or as soon as filled, for a duration of three years. We are looking for: A highly motivated PhD candidate with a completed Masters’ degree in microbiology, molecular ecology, soil microbiology or other closely related fields. A strong background in microbiology, molecular biology and/or biogeochemical analytics is expected. Experience in next-generation sequencing or the setting up of field experiments are of benefit.

PhD fellowship in Plant Ecology || PhD Project in Arctic plants’ thermal acclimation and heat-stress responses

 PhD in Plant Ecology  PhD fellowship in Plant Ecology PhD Project in Arctic plants’ thermal acclimation and heat-stress responses Department of Biology Faculty of SCIENCE University of Copenhagen Terrestrial Ecology Section, Department of Biology invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in quantifying arctic plants’ thermal acclimation and responses to heatwaves. This PhD position is a part of a recently funded 5-year Villum Young Investigator project “Plant temperature-regulated Arctic responses and feedbacks to the changing climate” (2023-2028). Start date is expected to be 1st September 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.   The project Strong, ongoing warming in the Arctic is causing drastic changes on arctic vegetation and plant functionality, which can modify potential roles of the arctic ecosystems in the climate system. This amplified warming is expected to largely increase the frequency of heatwaves in this region. Under heatwaves, we expect a reduced plant uptake o
