Job description

Offer DescriptionIRTA is currently seeking an enthusiastic and motivated PhD candidate to join the Fruit Production Program. We invite applications from ambitious candidates with relevant research experience and passion to conduct research and innovation activities on the project titled: “Ecophysiological mechanisms underlying the resilience of grapevines to abiotic stresses”; The project will assess the interaction between variety/rootstock combination and soil management in the grapevine water relations at agronomical, physiological, and biochemical levels. A special focus will be addressed to understand the nature of below ground interaction between rootstock roots and cover crop roots. The utmost objective would be the selection of the best soil management for each rootstock-cultivar combination, in order to improve the efficiency of water use of non-irrigated grapevines in the context of climate change.RequirementsResearch Field Agricultural sciences » Agronomics Education Level Master Degree or equivalentAdditional InformationWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute IRTA – TORRE MARIMON Country Spain State/Province BARCELONA City CALDES DE MONTBUI Postal Code 08140 GeofieldWhere to apply WebsiteContact State/ProvinceBarcelona CityCaldes de Montbui WebsiteStreetTorre Marimon Crta.
