Dear colleagues,

We are looking for a PhD student to work in a project “Forest Phytophthoras – ecology, diversity and management.” We would be grateful if you can pass this information to any students you know of who might be interested.

The position is part of a larger recruitment of 5 PhD students at SLU Alnarp, who will be embedded in Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network PROTECTA (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2017-766048). In total, PROTECTA will recruit 15 students to academic and industrial research PhDs across Europe, with the aim to  develop new and innovative ways to control oomycete diseases across the agriculture, environment, forestry and aquaculture sectors. We will study selected oomycete pathogens and their hosts in multidisciplinary cross-sectoral projects. Students will therefore be well connected to relevant industry mentors and undertake secondments at different locations in the consortium.

 

The prospective students can find the information at SLU webpage: https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/jobs-vacancies/

Best regards,

Johanna Witzell & Michelle Cleary
