The University of Freiburg invites applications for a Postdoc or PhD position focused on investigating the role of ethylene-modulating bacteria in plant root development and stress resilience. The research aims to enhance plant growth through beneficial microbial interactions, particularly in response to environmental stressors like drought and soil compaction. The successful candidate will work with synthetic bacterial communities, conducting molecular biology, genetics, and field trials. A PhD is required for the postdoctoral position, while a Master’s degree in biological sciences is needed for the PhD role. The application deadline is January 15, 2025.
