Gent, Belgique VIB Temps plein

**About the Center and Lab**:
**Job description**:
The project is situated within the European effort to introduce soybean as a protein crop for sustainable agriculture in Northwestern Europe. In collaborative effort with Ghent University and ILVO, we will pinpoint optimal soybean-rhizobia combinations for efficient nitrogen fixation when applied at northern latitudes, gain profound insights into the genetic underpinnings of these interactions, and uncover plant growth promoting rhizobacteria that enhance the symbiotic relationship. Our project paves the way for sustainable high-protein soybean production in North-western Europe, with the potential to benefit high-latitude regions worldwide.

We are looking for a highly motivated student with an interest in plant-microbe interactions and with an education in plant molecular biology and plant physiology.

**Profile**:
We are looking for:

- A master in Life Sciences or Bioscience-engineering
- Hands-on experience in molecular plant-microbe interactions
- You love to take initiative and are a team player
- You have a strong perseverance and critical mindset
- Organization and communication are your talents.

**We offer**:

- A 2+2 year position starting around January 2025
- Access to cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure within an excellence-based research institute.
- A stimulating and supportive scientific environment
