He/she is strongly interested in the intersection of stress-physiology, biochemistry and ecology of soil systems. High capacity in developing field research strategies in combination with laboratorial analytical skills are appreciated. Beneficial are skills in statistical analysis/modelling. Good communication skills in spoken and written English are required.


The university provides interdisciplinary training by addressing mechanisms of detoxification and oxidative stress, of energy allocation, and by developing metabolomics approach. Moreover, access to long-term observatories and fields of known history of pesticide application, climatic chambers and LC-MS/MS equipment for analysis of pesticides and their metabolites.


Applications should be sent to Claudia Wiegand and Françoise Binet. New deadline for application: 30 May 2017; interviews are planned in May-June. Applications need to include: 1) CV, 2) Proof of PhD degree, 3) Letter of motivation including a brief summary of the past research, current and future research interests, 4) Names and contact information of at least 2 references.
