Job openings
PhD Candidate Plant Root Development
This four-year PhD position is dedicated to the subproject “The role of root plasticity in resilience”. It will run under supervision of Prof Christa Testerink in Wageningen. You will be working in a team together with other experimental and computational plant scientists. The focus of this research is on key genes and molecular pathways and developmental plasticity of Arabidopsis roots under drought stress. Using novel mathematical modelling, network inference approaches and existing knowledge we will identify networks downstream of drought perception and establish how these
impinge on and are integrated with basal root development.
Location: Wageningen (Netherlands)
Employer: Wageningen University & Research (WUR)
