Sustainability is a key economic and environmental issue in bioenergy feedstock production. We are seeking graduate students working towards a MS or PhD to pursue research into the contribution of nitrogen-fixing bacterial endophytes to the sustainability of bioenergy crops. The proposed research is part of a large bioenergy research initiative at the University of Illinois. This work aims to identify and characterize diazotrophs that colonize potential bioenergy crops, to determine the magnitude of their contribution to plant N requirements, and to examine the ecological factors that influence the colonization and activity of nitrogen-fixing endophytes.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Applicants should be independent and highly motivated, preferably with academic research and/or field experience. Candidates must be able to work independently as well as part of a collaborative research team. Individuals with superior academic credentials and strong communication skills are encouraged to apply.
