丹麦Slagelse植物病理学的工作职位

The Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University in Slagelse, Denmark, invites applications for a tenure track position in plant pathology.

The successful candidate will be part of a plant pathology research environment that is among the leading in Europe with research programs in molecular diagnostics, epidemiology, ecology, and prevention and control of plant diseases in agriculture. The department hosts the Global Rust Reference Center.

The candidate will have the opportunity to develop a research area within plant pathology for one or more of the diseases affecting important broadleaved arable crops or high-value crops.

Depending on the profile of the candidate, host resistance, pathogen virulence, host-pathogen interactions and pathogen biology/ecology/epidemiology could be part of the research program. The program could include, but is not restricted to, host interactions and biology and control of soil-borne pathogens/nematodes, pathogens affecting high-value crops and/or seed-borne pathogens. We are interested in applicants with experience in classical as well as molecular plant pathology.

The selected candidate is expected to

• build up innovative research within the described research areas
• develop competitive grant proposals
• contribute to teaching in plant pathology
• contribute to advisory activities to Danish ministries and authorities
• supervise Master and PhD level students

Qualifications

• PhD degree and post doc research experience within plant pathology
• Proven publication record in international peer-reviewed ISI journals
• Teaching experience at MSc and PhD level
• Experience in international research collaboration and networking

In addition to the above criteria, consideration will be given to innovative skills, the ability to communicate at all levels, such as the provision of research based policy support, the ability to promote and implement research results, an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience, and the ability to contribute to development of the department’s internal and external cooperation. Furthermore, we are looking for a dedicated person who can contribute positively as a team player to our working environment.

Research environment

The applicant will be part of the vibrant plant pathology environment within the department. The group is among the leading plant pathology groups in Europe in molecular diagnostics, rusts in cereals, diseases in potato, seed-borne diseases, pathogen epidemiology/ecology, integrated pest management and foliar diseases in cereals, amongst others. Permanent scientific staff includes Profs. Mogens S. Hovmøller and Per Kudsk, and Senior scientists Annemarie Fejer Justesen, Mogens Nicolaisen, Lise Nistrup Jørgensen and Bent J. Nielsen and approximately 15 post docs/PhD students.

The Department of Agroecology carries out research in agroecology, i.e. the interaction between plants, animals, humans and the environment within agroecosystems for the production of food, feed, energy and biobased products. This means that variations in soil and climate conditions play an important role in the research activities. The department is geographically distributed between several locations in Denmark.

The Department of Agroecology has approximately 270 employees who are organised in six research sections, a secretariat and three field trails and semi-field stations. The department has a flexible and informal working environment.
