PhD position in Fungal Evolution, Institute of Integrative Biology, ETH Zürich
July 9, 2008PhD position in Fungal EvolutionA 3-year PhD position is available at the Forest Pathology &
Dendrology Group, Institute of Integrative Biology, ETH Zürich, to
study the influence of genetic diversity and temperature on the
fungal root endophyte Phialocephala fortinii s.l. Our study organism
is a dominant root colonizer in conifer forests and operates across a
wide range of the symbiontic continuum, ranging from parasitism to
mutualism. The project seeks to understand the role of the genetic
diversity of P. fortinii s.l. in shaping host communities in a
changing world. The work includes inoculation experiments in
microcosms, virulence assessments and molecular studies.
The applicant is expected to hold an University degree in Natural
Sciences (environmental sciences, environmental microbiology,
evolutionary biology, experimental mycology, phytopathology or a
related discipline, ideally with good background in molecular biology
and statistics) which allows entering a PhD program, and very good
organizational, analytical and writing skills. Applicants should
submit a letter that summarizes motivation, interests and relevant
experienc, a cv including undergraduate and masters/diploma
transcripts, and contact information for 2-3 references (all as a
single pdf) to: ottmar.holdenrieder@env.ethz.ch

I m Syrian people 31 years , I search about free scholarship100% for plant pathology
Because I cant pay money . I have a little idea about molecular biology, but I will study hard from zero if you help me
Thanks
Hello .I’m Muhammad Bilal Zia I did M.Sc.(Hons.)/M.phil Plant Breeding & Genetics in 2002 & presently working as Research Officer at Maize & Millets Research Institute Sahiwal Pakistan. I’m interested and have great desire in doing Ph.d in latest technologies i.e. Molecular biology, biotechnology and Genetic engineering which are latest breeding tools. Please advise me how to proceed with it in your university

Dear sir
I am neda mohamadi,I’m interested in Biology as a whole but mainly focused on plant physiology, phytochemistry , and plant biotechnology. Following my MSc. Graduation in plant physiology (Feb 2006), I tried so hard to find a group or lab (in Tehran, Iran) interested in plant biotechnology, but more I tried,less I found. Finally, I accepted to become a research assistant in Tehran university and devoted my off hours to my favorite field of phytochemistry. I learned HPLC,electrophoresis ,PCR and read related books and research papers, and made a research group with my friend (Peyman Rajaie). After more than one year of learning and practicing together,we started our research practically. Since then, we have submitted two papers(Analysis of the carotenoid phgments stigmas of different Corcus species by HPLC, Phytochemistery study of some species of Jurina).
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests for further documentation.
Thank you very much for your concideration.
Yours sincerely,
Neda Mohamadi.
