• This PhD project is embedded in an EU project that address the efficient utilisation and integration of microbiome-based solutions for sustainable improvement of the production and safety of soya bean under field conditions.
• For this, various techniques will be applied and combined, including molecular analyses of soya bean roots/rhizosphere and seeds microbiomes in greenhouse experiments and field trails, determining colonization efficiency of microbial strains of interest using different molecular combined with bioinformatic techniques, analyzing the effect of microbial partners and different agronomic practices on plant physiology.

• You will engage in independent scientific planning, execution of experiments as well as evaluation and scientific interpretation of your results and publishing your research results at conferences and in international peer-reviewed journals.
• You will gain experience in a group of international scientists and build up your professional network.
• You will become part of a large European research project and build up your scientific profile in cooperation with the European research community.
