Understanding and optimising the interactions between the genetics of crop plants and their physical growing environment has the potential to revolutionise agriculture by enhancing quality, sustainability, and resilience amidst climate change. Reaching this potential requires an interdisciplinary perspective on plant physiology and production technology that integrates AI, data science, image analysis and sensor technologies.
RIBES is seeking to strengthen its team in the area of Crop Biotechnology and Engineering with two new positions (the other vacancy can be found here). As an assistant professor, you will contribute to our expanding research and education in the area of crop biotechnology and engineering.
The fields of crop production physiology and plant-environment interactions have advanced significantly in recent years and now integrate biology, technology and computational science. Studies of core processes such as plant growth, photosynthesis and nutrient and water use efficiency are supported by sophisticated technologies to monitor the plant and its immediate environment. Generated data is used in quantitative biology approaches, in which modelling is undertaken to predict plant behaviour under various growth conditions. It is expected that this combination of modern phenotyping and environmental sensing technologies will push the boundaries of our knowledge of how plants function and lead to precision agriculture and methods for systemic stress resilience and high resource use efficiency across a broad range of crops and growing environments.
As an assistant professor, your main goal will be to set up a strong Crop Physiology and Engineering research line. You will be stimulated to collaborate with the current team in the department of Plant & Animal Biology that work on, for example, plant meiosis and genome engineering, abiotic stress tolerance, plant developmental biology and gene regulation, as well as with other colleagues at the Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences. Within the Faculty of Science, Crop Physiology and Engineering has strong links to the sensor technology research at IMM, sensing and controlling research at the Donders Institute, and AI research across the campus. You will take a leading role in exploring possibilities for, and establishing, collaborations with national and international institutes. For instance, collaboration with Maastricht University's Brightlands Future Farming Institute in research and education is greatly encouraged.
With cutting-edge, internationally competitive research, a Crop Physiology and Engineering group will be able to exploit fundamental as well as strategic/translational science funding opportunities. You will embed your research in the Biology BSc programme at Radboud University and the new Crop Biotechnology and Engineering MSc programme to be delivered with Maastricht University. Depending on your career stage, you should be able to obtain your teaching qualification within the first period of appointment or have demonstrated excellent teaching abilities.
Profile
You are enthusiastic about research and have a scientific reputation in plant physiology, plant modelling, plant genetics, or a related field.
You have an extensive international research network and an appetite to link fundamental and applied plant biotechnological research.
You will seek to attract research funding from diverse national (e.g. NWO, TopSector) and international funding (e.g. EU, ERC) instruments and stakeholders.
You have social, organisational and management skills and are willing to participate in institutional and university committees and contribute to academic and administrative activities.
You have a collaborative nature and are eager to work with colleagues within the Plant and Animal Biology department, across disciplines, and with external organisations including Maastricht University's Brightlands Future Farming Institute.
You are committed to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in academia. You are proficient in English.
