PostDoc Foliar Systemic Messengers for Microbiome and Root Functionality

Role Purpose

• Design and execute a research project to investigate how foliar applied chemical signals can influence below‑ground functionality in the root and rhizosphere.
• Devise chemical‑microbial ecological approaches to effectively explore this new concept collaborating with other teams to embrace meta‑omics approaches and unveil possible modes of activity of for such foliar systemic messengers.
• Collaborate with colleagues from PSH Lead generation and biocontrol research to identify potential business‑relevant applications of the research and to prototype innovative concepts in an agile manner.
• Act as a soil expert in the research community supporting the activities of the Soil Health Research Center and engaging with the PSH Lead Generation and Biocontrol Research teams.

Accountabilities

• To generate hypotheses and identify putative and/or speculative foliar‑applied systemic messengers through litera...
