Doctoral Student for Multi- and Hyper Spectral Imaging, Germany
Job Description: The ICG-3 Institute at Forschungszentrum Jülich aims to understand and apply the dynamics of processes in biogeosystems and control mechanisms on scales from the molecular to the ecosystem level. The more than 100 staff members of the institute include over 50 senior scientists, post-doc researchers, and doctoral students. One focus of the institute’s activities is the development and application of non-invasive imaging methods to quantitatively study the dynamics of plant and ecosystem processes in space and time, and on various scales. The non-invasive methods are used to study growth and transport as well as exchange processes between plants and their fluctuating environment. The institute is characterized by its active atmosphere with young scientists open to new ideas applying these ideas in a creative and interdisciplinary environment.
A recently established research network (CROP.SENSe.net) between the University of Bonn and Forschungszentrum Jülich is dedicated to the development and deployment of novel sensor technologies to enable the assessment of the internal and external properties of crop plants. The network will quantify morphological and physiological characteristics of crop varieties using fast-measurement non-destructive scanning methods including high-throughput phenomics to improve crop management through precision farming. The network aims to develop new, and further improve existing, non- or minimally invasive sensor techniques for application, deployment and implementation in crop research, crop breeding and crop management.
Job description:
The candidate will be responsible for developing a dedicated multi-spectral sensor system to detect and quantify pathogen infection of Cercospora beticola on sugar beet leaves. The system will be used to screen and select phenotypes that have a resistance to the pathogen.
We are offering a 3-year position with an excellent working environment within the research network. The position will also be embedded in the institute’s structured doctoral training programme including supervision by a doctoral committee and organized training in research and soft skills.
