Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe's biggest research centers and help us to shape change!
Are you passionate about science? Would you like to contribute to research on breeding crops resilient to climate change? Come to work with us at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Plant Sciences (IBG-2) at the Research Center Jülich. IBG-2 has a leading position in plant phenotyping, focusing on dynamic plant-environment interaction. We apply non-invasive imaging methods for digital phenotyping of roots and shoots in controlled environments. Rye is a European orphan crop with a strong climate protection service and a high adaptation potential to a changing climate. Genome-based breeding of new varieties will contribute to the stacking of superior alleles. In this respect, characterizing root architecture diversity is important to create future varieties better adapted to climate change. Through this PhD project you will have the possibility to use state-of-the-art phenotyping methodologies and the exciting opportunity to link with a multi-disciplinary network funded by the German Ministry of Research (RYE-HUB).
