PhD Student Position in Switzerland at Molecular Evolution / Plant Pathology
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research
WSL is part of the ETH Domain. Approximately 500 people work on
topics related to the sustainable use and protection of the
environment and on an integrated approach to handling natural
hazards. The Phytopathology group of the Research Unit Ecological
Genetics and Evolution is investigating fungus-virus interactions
with the aim to develop biological control options for plant
pathogens. For the project CCES-GEDIHAP “The role of genetic
diversity in host-pathogen interactions in dynamic environments”,
which involves eight research groups of the ETH Domain we are seeking
a
PhD Student Molecular Evolution / Plant Pathology
You will investigate evolutionary processes in the interaction
between the fungal tree pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica and its
hyper-parasitic hypovirus CHV-1, seek to understand the relationships
among genetic diversity, virulence and temperature in this
pathosystem and publish your results in international journals. The
project will involve field sampling along temperature gradients,
laboratory experiments, and molecular-genetic analyses.
Your qualification: Master of Science with emphasis on
ecological/evolutionary genetics, plant pathology or virology,
experience with common genetic lab techniques and statistics, good
English communication and writing skills, open-minded, innovative and
motivated personality.
