Assistant-Professor for Research on Plant – Microbe Interactions
Frederiksberg
FULL TIME
November 1, 2024
The Assistant-Professor´s duties will include research within Plant – Microbe Interactions. The project addresses the Molecular Mechanisms and Dynamics of Plant-Microbe Interactions at the Root-Soil Interface (In Root). Research on plants and their naturally associated microorganisms is in a prime position to provide new perspectives and concepts for understanding plant function, performance and plant growth under limited input conditions. This will provide opportunities to reduce the environmental footprint and could also define breeding targets and develop applications through microbial interventions. To achieve this goal, In Root uses interdisciplinary approaches connecting plant and bacterial genetics, protein biochemistry, analytical chemistry and plant physiology with bacterial and plant population biodiversity studies and advanced modeling. The aim and perspective of In Root is to provide knowledge and tools for evidence-based development of new resilient crops and associated microbial interventions that will improve productivity, reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and alleviate negative environmental impact accompanying our food production. To achieve these overarching objectives In Root investigates functionally both the plant and the bacterial contributions to crop resiliency. To understand the molecular mechanisms integrating root-microbe interactions into whole-plant physiology the project will specifically focus on elucidating the mechanisms of intra-and interorganismal communication, signaling and resource allocation that regulate the local and systemic responses of Lotus, barley and Arabidopsis and their specific interactions with individual rhizosphere bacterial and Syn Coms.
Qualification requirements
- A MSc and Ph D degree in plant biotechnology or equivalent
- Successful completion of the Danish “Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Programme” (TLHEP, “ Universitetspædagogikum” )
- Minimum of 5 years of postdoc experience
- Documented scientific research experience and deep knowledge of plant-microbe interaction
- Proven experience with plant – microbe interaction in-vitro and soil based experimental systems, preferentially with the plant species Lotus, barley and Arabidopsis, beneficial rhizobacteria and root-nodule symbiosis.
- Experience in addressing the impact of abiotic factors such as drought stress and suboptimal temperatures.
- Proven practical work experience with state of the art analytical methods in plant cell physiology, biochemistry with enzymology, functional molecular biology including transcriptome analyses, light-, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, and noninvasive automated phenotyping with image analysis
- Good organizational skills and a detail-oriented structured work approach
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
