Research scientist permanent position on the effect of microbiota on tree health at INRAE, Nancy, France
by Pascal Frey
Dear colleagues,
The Department of Tree-Microbe Interactions at the INRAE Grand Est Nancy
Centre is expected to soon offer a research scientist permanent position
on the effect of microbiota on tree health.
This position will involve studying the role of tree microbiota in
interactions between trees and forest pathogenic fungi, with the aim of
contributing new knowledge on the emergence of forest diseases. If you
are passionate about tree health, microbial community ecology and the
study of plant microbiota, this position may be of interest to you.
The Department of Tree-Microbe Interactions is a unit of around 100
people from INRAE and the University of Lorraine. It is a dynamic unit
committed to scientific topics with societal implications. We have
state-of-the-art equipment and international partnerships. The unit is
ideally located in Champenoux, near Nancy, 1.5 hours from Paris by TGV,
close to the Vosges, Alsace, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.
