PhD Position: Investigating Plant-Soil Microbiota Interactions

2 maanden geleden


Nijmegen, Gelderland, Nederland Radboud University Voltijd

**Climate Change and Plant-Soil Interactions**

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme drought events, severely impairing plant growth, reshaping soil biogeochemical processes, and disrupting interactions between plants and soil microbiota. This leads to loss of plant and soil community diversity, functioning, and stability to future disturbances.

**The Role of Soil Microbiota in Drought Stress**

However, evidence suggests that long-term exposure to drought induces priming effects that increase plant resilience to subsequent drought events, and that soil microbiota are key players in reducing plant drought stress and enhancing plant recovery.

**Research Objectives**

  • Investigate how long-term exposure of plants to drought stress reshapes plant-soil microbiota interactions;
  • Examine how plant-soil microbiota interactions prepares plants to better overcome future drought events;
  • Determine whether beneficial plant-soil microbiota interactions are transferred from adult plants to their offspring to enhance their success in overcoming drought events.

**Research Methods**

To achieve these objectives, you will collect plant, soil, and microbial samples from fields, design mesocosm and greenhouse experiments, and perform laboratory work. Subsequently, you will perform microbial bioinformatics analyses and statistics to determine the mechanisms that enhance plant drought resilience.

**Teaching and Supervision**

As an Educational PhD Candidate, you will attend courses offered by the Graduate School of the Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Science, improving your research, assessment, and critical thinking skills. You will also supervise students and coordinate courses at the BSc/MSc level and will be expected to follow the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) track. Your teaching load may be up to 25% of your working time.

**Radboud University's Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion**

Radboud University is committed to equality of opportunity, fairness, and inclusivity, striving to be a place where everyone belongs. We aim to establish and maintain a diverse and inclusive community that fosters creativity and innovation in science. We welcome applications from individuals of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, and backgrounds, and particularly encourage those from underrepresented groups to apply.
