PhD Fellowship, Biochemistry and ecology of stilbene detoxification by fungal plant pathogens, JSMC, Germany
JSMC invites applications for a
PhD Fellowship (Ref.No. JSMC?25/2009) on the topic
Biochemistry and ecology of stilbene detoxification by fungal plant pathogens
The success of many plant pathogens is linked to their ability to detoxify the chemical defenses of their hosts.
Stilbenes are antifungal defenses found in several important crop plants, yet some stilbene?containing plants are still susceptible to pathogens. This project will investigate whether pathogens are able to detoxify stilbenes. The work will include research on potential detoxification reactions and enzymes as well as genetic alteration of fungi to investigate the contribution of detoxification processes to fungal fitness.
We expect:
- a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Natural or Life Sciences (e.g., Biology, Physics, Chemistry,
Medical Sciences, etc.). Candidates about to earn their degree are welcome to apply.
- high motivation and interest to join one of the interdisciplinary research areas of JSMC
- creativity and interest to shape your own thesis project
- an integrative and cooperative personality
- very good communication skills in English (instruction language at JSMC)
We offer:
- a highly communicative atmosphere within a scientific network providing top?level research
conditions
- a PhD stipend paid for 3 years according to the rules of the DFG (German Research Foundation) as
well as generous research funding
- a comprehensive mentoring program with efficient supervision by a team of supervisors
- courses in novel technologies and soft skills

I have completed course in High National Diploma in Accounting .

I have a BA degree in English, I have another BA degree in Management, and I have a master’s degree in curriculum, all from Addis Ababa University of Ethiopia. If I get full scholarship I want to study your offer.
I finished my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (major in Plant Protection and especializing in Plant Pathology )at the Visayas State University formerly Visayas State College of Agriculture on 1989. I also finished my Master of Science (Plant Pathology) of the same school on 2004. Presently, I am connected in the Department of Agriculture (one of the government agencies in the Philippines) as researcher, field worker, etc. I really love my work because it deals with people or farmers most of the time. However, I am very much interested to expand my knowledge in Plant Pathology and I am planning to apply a scholarship program in your country for PhD degree and work on the Biochemistry and Ecology of Stelbene detoxification by fungal plant pathogens. thank you so much for attending my message.
