www.slu.seWe are looking for a Post Doc to join our ongoing cross-disciplinary research program investigating the mechanisms of plant-plant and plant-insect interactions. A long-term goal of this program is to develop cropping strategies with sustainable plant protection to the most important pests on the economically most important crops. The project is focused on chemical interactions between plants and also between plants and insects.
The post-doctoral project will investigate changes in plant primary and secondary metabolites induced by volatile chemical signalling between barley plants. The research will focus on how interactions between neighbouring plants influence plant biochemistry and how these responses affect host selection, feeding and performance of aphids. The position is at the Dept of Ecology, SLU, Uppsala, but part of the work will be carried out at Umeå Plant Science Center, SLU, Umeå
