Two year postdoctorial position in evolutionary biology at SLU Alnarp, Sweden
- plant interactions with antagonists and the root microbiome
We seek a motivated postdoctoral researcher who will work on a new project
investigating selection of plant defence against antagonists in wild Solanum in
relation to the composition of the root microbiome in different habitats. An
exciting new development in studies of plant and animal immunity indicates that
microbial composition in the animal gut, or the phylo- or rhizosphere of
plants, is a strong contributing factor to good health. It has been suggested
that microorganisms present on plants may act as an outer, first layer of
immune defence against infection by pathogenic microbes. To gain a more general
understanding of evolution of plant health, we need to conduct studies in
natural populations taking into account selective forces generated by microbial
communities and their interactions with plants.
The project also has important applied aspects for future development of
sustainable plant protection strategies. The project will be performed in close
connection with integrated plant protection in cultivated potato against the
important potato diseases early and late blight.
Closing date 2nd of April, 2020.
