Summary Table: For detailed information on the scientific framework, individual projects, open positions, terms of employment, candidate responsibilities, and qualifications, visit www.uni-potsdam.de/en/ppp/.
Study Area: The study area centers around understanding plant phenotypic plasticity, integrating genetics, cell and developmental biology, physiology, evolutionary biology, functional ecology, computational biology, and mathematical modeling.
Scholarship Description: CRC 1644 explores the molecular basis and evolution of phenotypic plasticity in plants, a crucial trait for crop breeding and plant population survival under environmental change. The consortium aims for a transformative leap in comprehending plant phenotypic plasticity as a dynamic trait of significance.
Eligibility: We invite highly motivated individuals with a background in quantitative genetics, biology, physiology, ecology, or related fields to apply. CRC 1644 encourages applications from candidates of all genders and is committed to increasing the proportion of women in STEM research.
Required Documents: Applicants must submit a comprehensive application, including a CV, a letter of motivation specifying the positions applied for (with position IDs), reasons for pursuing a PhD, and the chosen projects. Additionally, include relevant certificates, names and addresses of two academic referees, and a completed form available for download on the website.
How to Apply: Submit your application by the deadline of 31.01.2024 via email to mailcrc1644@uni-potsdam.de.
Last Date: The application deadline is 31.01.2024. Don’t miss the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in plant phenotypic plasticity. Apply now to be part of CRC 1644’s innovative and interdisciplinary research team.
