Applicants are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Quantitative Genetics and Genomics programme. The position is available from 01 January 2025 or later. You can submit your application via the link under ‘how to apply’.Title
PhD in Plant Phenomics: AI and Robotics for High-Throughput Environmental Response MappingResearch area and project description
Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on an exciting multidisciplinary project funded by the Danish Council for Independent Research (Sapere Aude), aiming to develop cutting-edge tools to understand complex plant responses to environmental variables.Context: Plants live in complex environments, responding to factors such as light, temperature, and nutrients, which affect their growth and survival. Each plant responds differently to these factors, and understanding these reactions is key to studying their ability to adapt and thrive in various conditions. This project aims to take a groundbreaking approach by not just studying plants in isolated environments, but by exploring how they grow across a multidimensional range of environmental conditions in real-time.About the Project: The project focuses on characterising “response surfaces” in the small, fast-growing plant species Lemna gibba (duckweed), using high-throughput phenotyping and advanced AI tools. The core of the research involves:
This research will explore exciting questions about plant adaptation, response surface modelling, and experimental metaphenomics, providing valuable insights into plant biology and the future of sustainable agriculture.Research Group: You will join the dynamic Digital Approaches for Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture (DARSA) group, at the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG). The group and center foster a dynamic, inclusive and multidisciplinary environment. Your research will take place at Aarhus University, a prestigious institution located in a vibrant student-friendly city. This project will be conducted with local (the Aquatic Biology aaSection) and international (Dr. Ryan Sartor) collaborators.Selection Process: Candidates will be evaluated based on their CV, motivation statement, and reference letters. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview (online or in person). The top candidate will be offered the position.Why Apply?
