The culturally diverse Research Group “Plant Architecture” is primarily interested in basic research questions concerning how cereal inflorescences, called spikes, develop and how this contributes to yield formation.

Your Tasks:

• You carry out the harvest of individual spikes and assist with the row and plot harvests.
• You support data collection in field and greenhouse trials.
• Additionall…

The Network Analysis and Modelling group investigates how genetic variation shapes gene regulation, protein function, and, ultimately, observable plant traits. Using machine learning and network analysis, we aim to enhance crop performance through the discovery and annotation of gene variants that can guide breeding and gene-editing approaches.

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher…

The Molecular Plant Nutrition research group investigates the transport and metabolism of minerals and their role in physiological and morphological adaptations of plants to stress or agricultural production conditions. In frame of two projects dealing with physiological and morphological root traits we are investigating genotypical responses to nitrogen deficiency or different nitrogen…

The Plant Reproductive Biology laboratory is primarily working on the establishment and application of principles and methods of transgenesis and genome editing. The overarching objective of the research work is to contribute to improving the performance and product quality of crops. 

Your tasks:

• validation and optimization of a novel method of genetic transformation using current…

The research groupGenetics and Physiology of Root Development studies crop root anatomical and architectural traits. Research is mainly focused on cereals including barley, wheat, and maize. We aim to leverage high-throughput phenotyping to create knowledge about plant function at the physiological level and use forward genetics approaches to unravel the genetic architecture of root…
