PhD 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
