Job description

The Laboratory of Phytopathology offers two new positions for Associate Professors with ambition to grow who will help shape the future of phytopathology through innovative research on disease resilience, pathogen adaptation, quantitative disease biology, predictive modelling, or mechanistic understanding of plant-pathogen interactions.

As an Associate Professor in the Laboratory of Phytopathology, you will contribute to working on the frontier of phytopathology. You enjoy and have experience in developing novel concepts in plant-pathogen interactions on different scales (individual plant, population, ecosystem). You are a team player and able to connect to researchers in other chair groups at Wageningen University and establish an (inter)national network. You contribute to teaching and to mentoring colleagues in the team. You have the ambition to contribute to positioning the group in a competitive (funding) landscape.

Specific topics that are complementary to the current research group are:

• theoretical phytopathology;
• predictive modelling / Bioinformatics;
• quantitative disease immunity;
• structural biology.

However, researchers working on other cutting-edge theories/approaches in phytopathology are also encouraged to apply.

Your duties and responsibilities include...
