Encaminhando posição de doutorado, A.
Dear colleagues,
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD-student to join the long-term
research on the interactions between plants, insects & microbes.
For more information see the project description (below) and the following link:

and don’t hesitate to contact me directly by email, (closing date is March 3)
My best,

Project description
Plants interact with a large number of insects and microorganisms, including
pests like herbivores and pathogens, and mutualists like parasitoids and
mycorrhizal fungi. In both agricultural fields and natural communities these
microbe and insect species commonly co-occur on the same plant individual.
While we know how insects interact with insects, and microbes with microbes,
interkingdom interactions among plant-associated microbes and insects have only
rarely been investigated. To fill this gap, the current project combines
experimental and molecular approaches to gain a predictive understanding of how
direct and indirect interactions among insects and microbes structure
terrestrial plant-based communities. The project can be subdivided into two
modules. The student will first explore the role of these interactions within a
community context in a multi-factorial greenhouse experiment, focusing on the
food webs surrounding the plant Plantago lanceolata and Bistorta vivipara.
Next, the student will pinpoint the plant-mediated interactions between
microbes and insects by probing the response of the plant – in terms of gene
expression and defense-related phytohormonal pathways – to microbe, insect and
simultaneous attack.
