An appointment as Professor in Forest Pathology is vacant in the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala. Our department provides a dynamic and international research environment that comprises experts who conduct fundamental and applied research on interactions between microorganisms and plants, mycology, microbial ecology and evolution, and biodiversity. Central themes are forest and plant pathology and nutrient and carbon cycling in agricultural and forest ecosystems. About half of the research in the department is in the area of pathology of crops and forest trees. The position is placed in the subject area of forest pathology. Current research focus on infection biology of forest pathogenic fungi and resistance biology of trees, and includes systematics and identification of fungi, fungal genomics and population genetics of fungi. Other research areas are biodiversity and invasive species in forest ecosystems, as well as applied research in forest management and resistance breeding. The department is responsible for and participate in teaching in forest and plant pathology in several programs and courses.

Subject Area

The subject area for the position is forest pathology. The subject includes disease on trees and forest ecosystems, primarily those caused by pathogenic fungi. The research can include, but is not limited to, interactions between trees and pathogenic fungi, fundamental biology (genomics, evolution, ecology) of forest pathogenic fungi, disease resistance, and research on invasive species. The research can address both fundamental and applied research questions of relevance for the subject area, forest ecosystems and forest health.

 

Application deadline: 2021-11-22
